Given- Number of places- 4 nos.


Population- 40 Lakhs.
Duration- 4 hr.

No. of steams- 3 nos (Discharge of each steams= 1000 L/minute).

Solution :
Total Quantity of water required = 4(places) X 3(steams) X 1000 (L/min) X 60 X 4 (hours)
= 2880000 Liters.
= 2880 kilo-liters.

Total quantity of water required = No of fires x Discharge x Time of each fire.

= 4 x (3 x 1000) x (4 x 60) = 2880000 liters = 2880 kilo liters. (where, 1000 liters/minute is discharge of each stream).

How 1000 lit/min is taken? @Amlan Ghosh.

Navi said:   8 years ago
Discharge of each stream should be taken as 1100 ltr/min.

Ashish said:   8 years ago
Discharge of each stream will be 1100 L/m.

Does 3 streams means 3 cumecs?

Vikram said:   8 years ago
According to me, 3168 kilolitres is the correct answer.
