The volume of cylinder = \(10*πr^{2}\)

\(\frac{3}{4}\) is filled with water--> \(\frac{1}{4}\) is empty= \(\frac{1}{4}*10*πr^{2}= \frac{5}{2}*πr^{2}\)

The volume of each marble = \(\frac{r}{10}\) (12 per minute = one marble per 5 seconds)


In order the cylinder to be full,
\(--> (\frac{5}{2})*πr^{2}/(\frac{r}{10})= 25πr\) marbles should be dropped.

It took 25πr*5 seconds to fill the cylinder

The answer is C.

total volume of the bucket = pi * r^2 * 10
which is filled 3/4 ; so 1/4th is empty
volume of bucket to be filled ; pi *r^2*10*1/4 = 5pi*r^2/4
for each rock the volume r/10
per rock 5pir^2/4 * 1/10/r = 25pir
so in 12 mins = 60/12 ; 5 seconds per rock
total time ; 25pi*r*5 = 125 pir IMO C

12 marbles take 1 minute = 60 seconds
--> 1 marble takes = 60/12 = 5 seconds

3/4th of cylinder is filled --> 1/4th is empty
--> Empty volume that needs to be filled = \(\frac{1}{4}*π*r^2*10 = \frac{5}{2}*π*r^2\)

Volume of 1 marble = \frac{r}{10}
Number of marbles required to fill \(\frac{5}{2}*π*r^2\) volume = \((\frac{5}{2}*π*r^2)/\frac{r}{10}\) = \(25πr\)

Time taken by 1 marble = 5 seconds
--> Time taken by \(25πr\) marbles = \(25πr*5\) = \(125rπ\)

IMO Option C

Given:
1. A cylindrical bucket, with height 10 and radius r, is 3/4 filled with water.
2. A boy is dropping marbles with volume r/10 into the bucket at a rate of 12 per minute.

Asked: How many seconds will it take before water overflows from the bucket?

1. A cylindrical bucket, with height 10 and radius r, is 3/4 filled with water.
Volume of empty bucket = \(1/4 * \pi r^2 * 10 = 2.5 \pi r^2\)

2. A boy is dropping marbles with volume r/10 into the bucket at a rate of 12 per minute.
12r/10 /min = 1.2 r /min

Time required = \(2.5 \pi r^2 / (1.2r) mins = 25/12 \pi r mins = 25*60/12 \pi r seconds = 125 \pi r seconds \)

Yes with this i think i will be approaching the impossible top 3 weakly rating hell yes................... it's simple 25 pie r *5 = 125*pie *r imo C
the pie is way too sweat
