In such questions in Geometry, \(Time = \frac{Volume}{Rate * Area}\)
Volume of the cuboid (to get to a height of 8m) = 200 * 150 * 8 = 2,40,000 \(m^3\)
Rate = 20 km/hr = 20 * 1000 m /hr = 20000 m/hr
CSA Area of the pipe = 30 * 20 = 600 \(cm^2\) = \(\frac{600}{100 * 100} = \frac{6}{100} m^2\)
Therefore Time = \(\frac{240000}{20000 * \frac{6}{100}} = \frac{240000}{1200} = 200\) hours
