Settling time = H/Vs,

So settling time =2 hours, and for settling, D.T >S.T and 3 hr is the only option which fulfils this condition.

Thanks @Rajesh.

DT = VOLUME / RATE OF FLOW,
VOLUME = AREA * DEPTH.
RATE OF FLOW,Q= V* A
therefore, DT = DEPTH/VELOCITY.
So, option D is correct.

D.T = depth of tank / Vs of partical.
= 2.4m and .33 mm velocity,
( it's not .33 m )
= 2400/.33.
= 7272.72sec.
= 2 hour.

@Shiva and @Gagnesh

Here 2.4m is depth, Not volume.

DT = lbh/q = lbh/av = h/v = 2400/.33.

2.4m = 2400mm.

DT= 2400mm ÷.33mm/sec = 7272 sec.
7272sec ~ 2hours.

Can anyone explain the solution?

Nagarajan said:   10 years ago
It is 181.82 sec so 3 min is the answer.

2 hours for 0.33 mm /sec not m/sec.
