A residential housing society is built in 4000 sq metre area. It has an underground tank to collect the rain water, the length, breadth and height of which are 50 m,40 m,4 m respectively. If it rains at the rate of 2mm per minute for 5 hours, then calculate the depth of water in the tank.

Height of rain water in 5hrs=2×5×601000m=0.6 mArea of housing society=4000 m2Volume of rain water=(4000×0.6)m3=2400 m3.Now,Depth of water in tank=Volume of rain waterArea of base of underground tankDepth of water in tank=240050×40=1.2 m
