Question: A tank `4` m long, `1.5` m wide is dug in a field `31` m long and `10` m wide. If the earth dug out is evenly spread out over the filed, the rise in level of the field is :
A
B
C
D
`3.1 cm`
B
`6.2 cm`
C
`5 cm`
D
`4.8 cm`
Note: Volume of earth dug out
`= (4 xx 5/2 xx 3/2) m^3`
`= 15 m^3.`
Area over which earth is spread
`= (31 xx 10 - 4 xx 5/2) m^2`
`= 300 m^2`
Rise in Level
`= (Volume/Area)`
`= (15/300 xx 100) cm`
`= 5 cm.`
