A cylindrical tank of radius 7 m and height 10 m is full of water. If this water is poured into a rectangular tank of length 22 m and width 10 m, what will be the height of water?
A7 m
B5 m
C14 m
D10 m
✓ Correct Answer: A — 7 m
Vol_cyl = (22/7)×7²×10 = 1540 m³. Vol_rect = 22×10×h = 1540. h = 1540/220 = 7 m.
