While applying the Rational formula for computing the design discharge, the rainfall duration is stipulated as the time of concentration because

1.   this leads to the largest possible rainfall intensity

2.   this leads to the smallest possible rainfall intensity

3.   the time of concentration is the smallest rainfall duration for which the Rational formula is applicable

4.   the time of concentration is the largest rainfall duration for which the Rational formula is applicable

The plan area of a reservoir is 1 km2. The water level in the reservoir is observed to decline by 20 cm in a certain period. During this period the reservoir receives a surface inflow of 10 hectare-meters, and 20 hectare-meters are abstracted from the reservoir for irrigation and power. The pan evaporation and rainfall recorded during the same period at a near by meteorological station are 12 cm and 3 cm respectively. The calibrated pan factor is 0.7. The seepage loss from the reservoir during this period in hectare—meters is
