The correct answer is: 4 s
When a cone filled with water is revolved in a vertical circle, then the velocity at the highest point is given by
Also
$\begin{aligned}
& v \geq \sqrt{g r} \\
& v=r w=r \frac{2 \pi}{T}
\end{aligned}$
Hence, $\quad \frac{2 r \pi}{T} \geq \sqrt{r g}$
$\begin{aligned}
T & \leq \frac{2 \pi r}{\sqrt{r g}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{r}{g}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{4}{9.8}} \\
& =2 \times 3.14 \times 0.6389=4.0 \mathrm{sec}
\end{aligned}$
So, $T_{\max }=4 \mathrm{sec}$
