I think the answer should be 4.75cm.

Answer should be 2.66 cm.

(6 + 10 + 8 + 7) * 10/60 - (3 * 40/60) = 3.

You have to consider only graph above phi index it will be 19.

Then runoff = (19 * 10)/60 = 3.1 approximately 3.

Can't understand.

Can anyone provide some formula to solve this?

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.

Thank you @Krunal, @Rajshekhar and @Shiva.

Thanks for the good explanation @Krunal.

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.
