The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the rise in the level of the field after the earth dug out from the tank is spread evenly over the field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the Volume of the Tank:** The tank is in the shape of a cuboid. The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cuboid is given by: \[ V = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \times \text{Height} \] Given: - Length of the tank \( L = 4 \, \text{m} \) - Breadth of the tank \( B = 2.5 \, \text{m} \) - Height of the tank \( H = 6 \, \text{m} \) Substituting the values: \[ V = 4 \times 2.5 \times 6 = 60 \, \text{m}^3 \] 2. **Calculate the Area of the Field:** The field is also in the shape of a rectangle. The area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by: \[ A = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \] Given: - Length of the field \( L_f = 10 \, \text{m} \) - Width of the field \( W_f = 9 \, \text{m} \) Substituting the values: \[ A = 10 \times 9 = 90 \, \text{m}^2 \] 3. **Calculate the Rise in Level of the Field:** The rise in level \( h \) can be calculated by dividing the volume of the earth dug out by the area of the field: \[ h = \frac{V}{A} \] Substituting the values: \[ h = \frac{60 \, \text{m}^3}{90 \, \text{m}^2} = \frac{60}{90} = \frac{2}{3} \, \text{m} \] 4. **Convert the Rise in Level to Centimeters:** Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, we convert the rise in level: \[ h = \frac{2}{3} \, \text{m} \times 100 = \frac{200}{3} \approx 66.67 \, \text{cm} \] ### Final Answer: The rise in level of the field will be approximately \( 66.67 \, \text{cm} \). ---
