Correct Answer - Option 1 : 8640 liter
Given:
A tap drips at a rate of one drop/sec 1200 drops make 200 ml
Number of liters wasted in 600 days
Concept used:
1 liter = 1000 ml
1 hours = 60 minutes
1 minutes = 60 seconds
Calculation
600 days = 600 × 24 × 60 × 60 seconds
Given 1200 drops = 200 ml
Then 12 drops = 2 ml
6 drops = 1 ml
Wasted water = (600 × 24 × 60 × 60) ÷ 6
Wasted water = 8640000 ml
Wasted number in liters = 8640 liters
∴ Wasted quantity is 8640 liters
