The Length, Breadth And Height Of A Cuboidal Tank Are 150 cm, 120 cm And 110 cm Respectively. The Tank Has 129600 cm3Of Water In It. 100 Porous Bricks Each Having Dimensions 20 cm X 10 cm x 10 cm Are Placed In The Tank. Calculate 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
