B. 200
C. 230
D. None of these

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to determine how many liters of water the canteen will use in 5 days based on its usage in 4 days.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Determine the water usage per day**:
- The canteen uses 260 liters of water in 4 days.
- To find the daily usage, divide the total water used by the number of days:
\[ \text{Water used in one day} = \frac{260 \text{ liters}}{4 \text{ days}} = 65 \text{ liters/day} \]

2. **Calculate the water used in 5 days**:
- Now that we know the daily usage, we can calculate the total usage for 5 days by multiplying the daily usage by 5:
\[ \text{Water used in 5 days} = 65 \text{ liters/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 325 \text{ liters} \]

3. **Final Answer**:
- Therefore, the canteen will use **325 liters** of water in 5 days.
