Kumar and John have a garden containing 100 plants. Two water tanks which hold equal quantity are present at two ends of the garden. Kumar connected perpendicular pipes with nozzles through a long pipe to one tank. John channelized water pipes from another water tank in such a way that the water reaches slowly to the roots of plants. On day 1, John was able to water all the plants and still have some quantity of water left in his tank but on day 2 when Kumar tried to water the plants he wasn't able to water all the plants. What kind of irrigation method was used by Kumar and John respectively?

The correct option is C Sprinkler and Drip System
In sprinkler system of irrigation, the water is supplied through perpendicular pipes with nozzles connected to the main pipe of the water tank. When water is allowed to flow through the main pipe under pressure with the help of a pump, water gets sprinkled from nozzles like a rainfall. This is more useful on the uneven land. In the drip system, water is supplied at the position of roots drop by drop. As a result wastage of water is highly reduced. For this reason, the drip system is preferred for gardens.
