Solution
The correct option is A2.5cm The height of water in the tank becomes maximum when the volume of water flowing into the tank per second becomes equal to the volume of water flowing out per second.
We know, volume of water flowing out per second, Qout=Av=A√2gh .........(1) where h is the height of water at any instant. Given, volume of water flowing in per second, Qin=70cm3/s .........(2) From (1) and (2), A√2gh=70 ⇒1×√2×980×h=70 [ given, A=1cm2] ⇒h=49001960=2.5cm
