The annual average rainfall in a tropical city is 1000 mm On a particular rainy day (24-hour period)

Q. The annual average rainfall in a tropical city is 1000 mm. On a particular rainy day (24-hour period), the cumulative rainfall experienced by the city is shown in the graph. Over the 24-hour period, 50% of the rainfall falling on a rooftop, which had an obstruction- free area of 50 m2, was harvested into a tank. What is the total volume of water collected in the tank in liters?

(A) 25,000(B) 18,750(C) 7,500(D) 3,125

Ans; 7,500

Sol:

Cumulative rainfall = 300 mm

Area A = 50 m2

50% of the rainfall on a rooftop

Rainfall falling on a rooftop = 50% of cumulative rainfall

The volume of precipitation on rooftop = Area of rooftop × Rainfall falling on a rooftop

Vroof = 50 × 150 × 10-3 = 750 m2 = 7200 liters

The volume of water calculated on tank volume of precipitation on roof loop

VP = 7500 liters

∴ The total volume of water collected in the tank is 7500 liters
