The correct answer is: 4.8 m

Volume of water flowing out=Av, where A is area of opening and v is speed of water from the opening.

Volume=πr2v

0.74  m3min=3.14×2×10-22×2×10×H m3s×60 smin

H=0.7460×3.14×4×10-42×120

H=4.8 m

Hence, the height of water in the tank was 4.8 m from the bottom of the tank.
