Solution

The correct option is C Aa2Hg

Let at any time t, the height of the liquid be y, and in (t+dt) time, the level of the liquid will be (ydy).

As per equation of continuity,
A1v1=A2v2
a2gy=A(dydt)
where, dydt is the rate of decrease in the level of liquid.
y=0y=Hdyy=aA2gt=Tt=0dt
[2y]0H=aA2g[t]T0
T=Aa2Hg is the time taken to empty the tank.
Thus, option (c) is the correct answer.
