A tank measures 2m in length, 1.6m in width and 1m depth. Water is there upto 0.4m height. Bricks measuring 25cm?14cm?10cm are put into tank so that the water may come up to the top. Each brick absorbs water equal to 1/7th of its own volume. How many bricks will be needed?

Volume of tank  2* 1.6* 1 = 3.2 m^3
water present = 2*1.6*0.4 = 1.28 m^3
volume of brick = 0.25*0.14*0.1  = 0.0035 m^3
water absorbed by each brick 1/7 * 0.035 = 0.0005 m^3
Let us say we need x bricks
Volume occupied by bricks x * 0.0035 m^3
Water remaining is 1.28 - x * 0.0005( initial water - water absorbed by bricks)
sum of both is the volume of the tank
0.0035x + ( 1.28 - 0.0005x ) = 3.2
0.003x = 3.2 - 1.28
0.003x = 1.92
x  = 1.92/0.003 = 1920/3 = 640
so 640 bricks
reverse proof
Volume of bricks 640*0.0035
Initial volume of water 1.28
water absorbed by brick = 640*0.0035*1/7 = 640*0.0005
adding the 1st two and subtracting the 3rd we should get 3.2 m^3 the volume of the tank
640*0.0035 + 1.28 - 640*0.0005 = 3.2

इसका हल निम्न प्रकार हैं हालाकि मैं बता दूं कि मैं औसा माफी का रहने वाला हूं। Name adarsh Saini मैथमेशियन Amroha hasanpur Uttar pardesh हल : टैंक का आयतन=2m×1.6m×1m=3.2m^3 पानी का आयतन=2m×1.6m×0.4m=1.28m^3 प्रसनानुसार दिया है की एक इट का आयतन =25cm×14cm×10cm = 3500cm^3 = 3500×1/1000000 क्योंकि मीटर मैं कन्वर्ट किया है आ गया समझ मै
