Solution

The correct option is D $10 m l / m i n$
Percolation rate is the amount of water that trickles into the soil in a given time. It is calculated as follows:

Percolation rate = $\frac{Amount of water percolated(ml)}{Time taken(minutes)}$

Given,
Amount of water taken: $250 m l$
Time taken by water to percolate: $25 m i n$
$P e r c o l a t i o n r a t e (m l / m i n)$ = $\frac{A m o u n t o f w a t e r t a k e n}{T i m e t a k e n b y w a t e r t o p e r c o l a t e} = \frac{250 m l}{25 m i n}$
$= 10 m l / m i n$
