The length,breadth and height of a cuboidal tank are 150 cm,120 cm and 110 cm respectively. the tank has 129600cm3 of water in it. 100 porous bricks each having dimensions 20cm×10cm×10cm are placed in the tank. Calculated the rise in the water level of the tank,if each brick absorbs 1/10 of its own volume .

 volume of water in the tank = 129,600 cm^3 or 1,296,000 cm³ 

Volume of the tank =  150 * 120 * 110  cm³  = 1, 980, 000 cm³
base area of the tank =  150 * 120 =  18, 000 cm²

volume of water in the tank = 129, 600  cm³  
filled height of water in the tank =   129, 600 / 18 000 = 7. 2 cm
       
Volume of the porous bricks = 20 * 10 * 10 = 2, 000 cm³  each
Amount of water absorbed by each brick = 1/10 * 2, 000 = 200 cm³

Amount of water absorbed by all 100 bricks =  20, 000 cm³  

Volume of water remaining = 129, 600 - 20, 000 cm³  = 109, 600 cm³

Now volume occupied by the bricks = 100 * 2, 000 = 200, 000 cm³ 

Total volume of bricks + water = 309, 600 cm³

Height of water in the tank now  = total volume / base area
           = 309, 600 / 18, 000  = 17.2 cm

Rise in the level of water = 17.2 - 7.2 = 10 cm
