Solution
The given tank is cuboidal in shape having its length (l) as 20 m, breadth (b) as 15 m, and height (h) as 6 m.
Capacity of tank = l × b× h
= (20 × 15 × 6) m3
= 1800 m3
= 1800000 litres
Water consumed by the people of the village in 1 day = (4000 × 150) litres = 600000 litres
Let water in this tank last for n days.
Water consumed by all people of village in n days = Capacity of tank
n × 600000 = 1800000
n = 3
Therefore, the water of this tank will last for 3 days.
