Question

500 men took dip in a tank which is 80 metre long 50 metre broad.what is the rise in water level if the average displacement of water by a man is 4 metre cube

Answer 1

The depth of the tank has not been mentioned.

If displacement by 1 man is 4 metre cube,

then it should surely be 500 * 4 metre cube for all of them.

Thus, answer is 2000 metre cube
