Solution

The correct option is C 10 ml/min
Percolation rate is the amount of water that trickles into the soil in a given time. It is calculated as follows:

Percolation rate = Amount of water percolated(ml)Time taken(minutes)

Given,
Amount of water taken: 500 ml
Time taken by water to percolate: 50 min
Percolation rate (ml/min)= Amount of water takenTime taken by water to percolate=500 ml50 min
=10 ml/min
