Answer : 1. "20"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 20 Explanation: Given height of the conical tent = 3 m Diameter = 10 => Radius = D/2 = 10/2 = 5 m  Now, as the tent is in the conical form Volume of the conical tent = πr2h3  => (22 x 5 x 5 x 3) / (7 x 3)  = 22 x 25/7  = 78.54 cu.m  Given each person requires 3.92 cu.m of air  => Number of persons can be seated in the tent = 78.54/3.92 = 20.03 =~ 20
