A sandy stratum 4 in thick and having a slope of 3:1-lies between two clay strata which are
almost impermeable. Two piezometer tubes inserted at two points 'A' and ‘B' 21 m apart
and water head was noted as shown. If quantity of water per ‘m' width of the sand stratum
was observed to be 5 litre/hour. The permeability of the sand strata in m/sec is
