A hydraulic sprayer when operating at a speed of 10 km h−1 and working pressure of 420 kPa covers a width of 4.5 m. The power requirement and efficiency of the pump are 0.75 kW and 70%, respectively. Out of total pump discharge, 10% is bypassed for agitation purpose. The working pressure is increased to 500 kPa. Assuming no change in the width of coverage, the application rate of the sprayer in L ha−1 (round off to 1 decimal place) is _______.
Correct : 982.0
