Solution

Given diameter of cylinder = 14 cm
Therefore radius of cylinder, r = 7 cm
Volume of cylinder = πr2h cubic units
Volume of water flowing through the cylindrical pipe in 1 hour at the rate of 15km/hr
= (22/7) x (7/100) x (7/100) x 15000 = 231 m3
We know that volume of cuboid = lbh cubic units
Therefore volume of water in the tank = 54 x 44 x (21/100) = 462 m3
Time taken = (462/231) = 2 hours
