Solution
Let the level of the field be risen by h meters volume of the earth taken out from the pit
`7.5xx6xx0.8m^3`
Area of the field on which the earth taken out is to be spread (X)
`=18xx15-7.5xx6=225m^3`
Now, area of the field Xh = volume of the earth taken out from the pit
`⇒225xxh=7.5xx6xx0.8`
`⇒h=36/225=0.1m=16m`
