The correct answer is: 5

Plotting the diagram we have,

Now given, tanθ=34=rh and  let water is poured at constant rate dVdt=6 cubic meter per hour,

Now we know that volume of cone is given by V=13πr2 h=13πh3tan2θ=9π48 h3=3π16 h3 by using tanθ=34=rh

Now differentiating above equation we get,

dVdt=3π16·3h2·dhdt=6

dhdt=23πm/hr

Now, we know that curved surface area of cone is given by,

 S=πrl=1516πh2 as sinθ=35=rll=53r and r=34h

Now differentiating both side we get,

dSdt=15π16·2hdhdt

dSdt=5 m2/hr as dhdt=23πm/hr
