In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares of ground is:
75 cu. m
750 cu. m
7500 cu. m
75000 cu. m
Answer: Option
Explanation:

1 hectare = 10,000 m2

So, Area = (1.5 x 10000) m2 = 15000 m2.

Depth = 5 m = 1 m.
100 20

Volume = (Area x Depth) = 15000 x 1 m3 = 750 m3.
20

After the rain falls on the ground, its height is measured. That is how the rainfal is generally measured.

now, coming to the problem, here, the height is 5cm = 5/100m.

volume=lbh

but area=lb

volume=area*h

hence, volume= 15000*5/100 =750
