The latest pump concreting in horizontal distance upto 2000 meter & vertical 400 meter by Puzmesister pump machine. It depends upon machine "Bar power".

300 m is the right answer.

HOW can it be possible? It should be 250 mm.

The effective pumping distance:
300-1000ft for horizontal.
100-300ft for vertically.
So 400m is right option.

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.

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