Solution

The correct option is A 3 l

Given:
Area of base =a=200 cm2

Height of container =20 cm

Volume of the container =(l×b)×h=a×h=200 cm2×20 cm=4000 cm 3

We know that 1000 cm3=1 l,
So the capacity of the container is 4 l.

Water is filled to a height of 15 cm.

Volume of filled water in tank =(l×b)×h=200 cm3×15 cm=3000 cm 3
So the volume of filled water is 3 l.

Amount of water to be added
=Capacity of the container Volume of filled water

The quantity of water required to fill the container completely is 1 l.
