(A) \(2.1rπ\)
(B) \(25rπ\)
(C) \(125rπ\)
(D) \(300rπ\)

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.

Bunuel
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
