Length of the tank = l = 20 m
Breadth of the tank = b = 15 m
Height of the tank = h = 6 m
Total population of a village = 4000
Consumption of the water per head per day = 150 litres
Water consumed by the people in 1 day = (4000×150) litres = 600000 litres …(1)
Formula to find the capacity of tank, C = l×b×h
Using given data, we have
C = (20×15×6) m3= 1800 m3
Or C = 1800000 litres
Let water in this tank last for d days.
Water consumed by all people in d days = Capacity of tank (using equation (1))
600000 d =1800000
d = 3
Therefore, the water of this tank will last for 3 days
