Most pumps can transport concrete more than 60 m vertically or 300 m horizontally (shorter distances when pumping both horizontally and vertically).
Some high-pressure pumps have achieved heights in excess of 400 m and horizontal distances greater than 1000 m.

Yes, 400m is right but for horizontal distances, for the vertical distance it is 0-80m.

Agree, given 400m is the right answer.

50 m only it's about vertical distance not a horizontal.
We can move upward by pump only 50 m.

400m for real? I have wroked with a pump which can pour upto 40m only.

Actually I have done practically concrete by pumps and placing booms. Even till 100m we have to connect steel pipes. The standard length of boom for pumps is 56m. For further you have to connect pipes. The more pipes. The more chances of blast of pipes. Extra pipe length is 3m we connect by clamps. 400m is not possible. I don't how they gave this answer.
