Detailed Solution

Given that,
Speed of water =15 km/hr   Diameter of pipe =14cm   = 14 100 m                    (1m=100cm)
  Length of cuboidal pond = 50 m
Width of cuboidal pond =40   m
Radius of the pipe = 14 2 =7cm  
=0.07m                       (1m=100cm)
We have the following formulae,
Volume of water flowing out the pipe in 1 hour =π r 2 h   Volume of cuboidal pond =lbh  
In one hour, water travelled=15km=15000m            (1km=1000m)
Considering the level of water in the pond rises by 21cm  = 21 100  m in t hours, (1m=100cm)
The volume of water flowing out the pipe in 1 hour,  =(22/7)×0.07×0.07×15000   =231 m 3   Then, the volume of water flowing out of the pipe in t hours will be,
=231×t =231 tm 3  
The volume of water in cuboidal pond will be,
=50×44×( 21 100 )    =462  m 3   The volume of water flowing out of pipe in t hours will be the same as the volume of water in the cuboidal pond, therefore,
231t=462    t=2  
Thus the required time is 2 hours and the level of water in the pond rise by 21 cm.
Therefore the correct option is 2.
