Volume of water present in tank = 25 * 20 * 5 =2500cm^3

when a metal cube of side 8cmis placed in tank , then volume of water displaced = 8*8*5=320cm^3

25*20*h=2500*8*8*5

h = 64*5*5

h = 1600cm

now, [(20*25)-(8*8) ]*h=320

(500-64)h=320

h = 320/436

h=0.733


MananPadsala8233: Vol. of cube should be 8×8×8

Vol. of cuboid (after inserting the cube) = vol of original cuboid + vol of cube.
lbH = lbh + l^3
20×25×H = 20×25×5 + (8×8×8)
H = 6.02 cm
New height after inserting cube = 6.02cm

Water to be added = (height of cube)-(height of water in the cuboid)
Therefore your ans is (8 - 6.02) = 1.98cm
