Solution

Given, diametre of pipe=7 cmSo, radius of pipe=72cm=3.5 cmAnd, rate of flow of water in the pipe=70cm/secThusVolume of water flowing out per second=Volume of pipe=Area of cross-section× rate of flow of water=πr2× rate of flow of water=227×3.52×70=2695 cm3Now,Volume of water flow in 2 hrs=2695×2×3600=19404000 cm3=194040001000lt=19404 ltSince there is common water tank for 500 housesThereforeAmount of water, which is pumped daily in the tank=500×19404=9702000 lt
