50 men took a dip in a water tank 40 m long and 20 m broad on a religious day. If the average displacement of water by a man is 4 m3, then the rise in the water level in the tank will be:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Total volume of water displaced = (4 x 50) m3 = 200 m3.
 Rise in water level = |
 |
200 |  m 0.25 m = 25 cm. |
| 40 x 20 |

They simply used the formula l*b*h, here u need too find the height=total water /l*b

L*b*h=Total water displaced=200(given)
now we have to find height i.e rise in the water level
h=200/L*B
H=25cm
now we have to find height i.e rise in the water level
h=200/L*B
H=25cm

How water displacement is equal to the total volume of the tank along with the height as the rise of water?

Water displaced is only equal to the rise in water level but not to the total volume of tank.
