A water container consists of a right circular cylinder (radius 1 m1\text{ m}, height 2 m2\text{ m}) surmounted by a hemisphere of the same radius. Two taps, A and B, discharge 30 L min−130\text{ L min}^{-1} and 45 L min−145\text{ L min}^{-1} respectively into the empty container simultaneously. Approximately how long will it take to fill the container completely? (Use π=3.14\pi = 3.14.) a) 98 min98 \text{ min} b) 112 min112 \text{ min} c) 84 min84 \text{ min} d) 140 min140 \text{ min}
