उत्तर

Dimensions of swimming pool are 200 m × 50 m.

Average depth of the swimming pool = 2 m

At the end of summer day the water level drops by 2 cm.

∴ Volume of water in swimming pool = Length × Breadth × Depth

= 200 × 50 × 2

= 20000 m3

If water level drops by 2 cm, it means new level of water

= `(2 - 2/100)m`   ...`[∵ 1 cm = 1/100 m]`

= 1.98 m  

Volume of water after summer day = 200 × 50 × 1.98

= 19800 m3

So, water in cubic metres was lost on that day

= Initial volume – Volume after summer day

= 20000 – 19800

= 200 m3
