Given:

Depth of river (d) = 20 m

Width of river (w) = 36 m

Flow rate = 2.7 km/hr

Time = 1 minute

1 km/hr = 1000 m / 60 min

Formula used:

Volume of water = Depth × Width × Flow rate × Time

Calculation:

Flow rate (in m/min) = 2.7 × 1000 / 60

⇒ Flow rate = 45 m/min

Volume of water = 20 × 36 × 45 × 1

⇒ Volume = 32400 m3

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
