R = (3*10/60) + (7*10/60) + (5*10/60) + (3*10/60).
R = 3cm Or 30mm.

By definition, φ index is the average rainfall above which the rainfall volume is equal to the runoff volume.

In the above graph, if the whole graph represents the total precipitation of that period, so the remaining area above the phi index line should be considered as runoff. From by graph- 19cm should be the runoff volume.

I think 3 is correct but it is Av.Runoff for time period of 60 min.

$ index = p-q/t.
3/60 = 60+70-q/60.
q = 127.
so, 60+70-127 = 3.

Here rainfall is given in cm but actually it is in mm.

Then we can get an answer like.{(31-R) * 60}/40 = 3.
By this, we can get R = 2.9 cm ~3cm.

I think 5 is Right.

φindex=(P-R)/tr.

where, tr= rainfall time (10 minutes).
R= runoff.
P= storm time (total time = 60minute).
and φindex = 3 (given).
By converting mm to cm we will get the answer is 3.

Thanks for the good explanation @Krunal.

Thank you @Krunal, @Rajshekhar and @Shiva.

From the graph, the upper part of φindex is called runoff and lower part is called infiltration.
Values are in min so we get convert its by divided by60 in hr.
Upper part s values are from the graph are 6, 10, 8, 7 for 10 min period.
R= (6-Πindex) *period/60 + (10-3) *10/60+ (8-3) *10/60+ (7-3) *10/60.
So we can get the answer 3.
