The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the logical sequence of calculations as described in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Calculate the area of the field The area of the field can be calculated using the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is: \[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \] Given: - Length of the field = 120 m - Breadth of the field = 50 m Calculating the area: \[ \text{Area of the field} = 120 \, \text{m} \times 50 \, \text{m} = 6000 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the area of the tank The area of the tank can also be calculated using the same formula: \[ \text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \] Given: - Length of the tank = 24 m - Breadth of the tank = 10 m Calculating the area: \[ \text{Area of the tank} = 24 \, \text{m} \times 10 \, \text{m} = 240 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the remaining area of the field To find the remaining area of the field after the tank has been dug, we subtract the area of the tank from the area of the field: \[ \text{Remaining Area} = \text{Area of the field} - \text{Area of the tank} \] Calculating the remaining area: \[ \text{Remaining Area} = 6000 \, \text{m}^2 - 240 \, \text{m}^2 = 5760 \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the volume of earth dug out from the tank The volume of the tank can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Breadth} \times \text{Depth} \] Given: - Depth of the tank = 6 m Calculating the volume: \[ \text{Volume of the tank} = 24 \, \text{m} \times 10 \, \text{m} \times 6 \, \text{m} = 1440 \, \text{m}^3 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the rise in level of the field The volume of earth dug out will be spread evenly over the remaining area of the field. We can set up the equation: \[ \text{Volume dug} = \text{Remaining Area} \times \text{Rise in level} \] Let \( h \) be the rise in level. Therefore: \[ 1440 \, \text{m}^3 = 5760 \, \text{m}^2 \times h \] Now, solving for \( h \): \[ h = \frac{1440 \, \text{m}^3}{5760 \, \text{m}^2} = \frac{1}{4} \, \text{m} = 0.25 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer: The rise in the level of the field is **0.25 meters**. ---
