Correct Answer: 1 cm


Solution : Given:
A tap is dripping at a constant rate into a container.
The level L cm of the water in the container is given by the equation, L = $2-2^t$
At the beginning, time will be zero, i.e., t = 0
L = $2-2^t$
= $2-2^0$
= 2 – 1
= 1 cm
The level of water in the container at the start is 1 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 1 cm.
