Solution
As each person needs 4 sq.m space on ground So 11 person will need 44 sq.m space on the ground. Therefore, Area of ground = 44sq.m πr = 44sq.m r = 44/π .......(1) and each person needs 20cu.m of air So 11 persons will need 220 cu .m of air Therefore volume of tent = 220 cu.m 1/3πr h = 220cu.m (1/3*π)*(44/π)*h = 220 ( from 1 ) 1/3*44*h = 220 h = 220*3 / 44 h = 5*3 h = 15 cm
