Answer:

Area of river = depth × width

=3×40


= 120 {m}^(2)

amount of water that falls into the sea ⇒

Area of river × flow rate


120 {m}^(2) * 2 \: (km)/(hr)


120 * \frac{2 * 1000 {m}^(2) }{(60)min}


4000 \: \frac{ {m}^(3) }{min}

:.
{4000m}^(3) of water falls into the sea per min.

So,
{4000m}^(3)

= 4000 × 1000 litres

= 4000000 litres

So, in 1 minute, water will fall into the sea is 4000000 litres.
