A large open tank has two holes in the wall. One is a square hole of side L at a depth y from the top and the other is a circular hole of radius R at a depth 4 y from the top. When the tank is completely filled with water, the quantities of water flowing out per second from both the holes are the same. Then R is equal to
The ratio of volume of water flowing out per second is given by
The velocities of water flowing out are given by
Using (2) in (1), we have
Given .
Therefore
or
which is choice (a).
