Q19 of 35 Page 74

For elevating 6.5dcm of a low land with length of 48m and breadth of 31.5m , it is decided that the soil will be collected by scooping a hole in a nearby land with a length of 27m and breadth od 18.2m, let us calculate the depth of the hole in the metre.

Let the depth of hole scooped be H m

Given, Length of field to be scooped = 27m


breadth of field to be scooped = 18.2 m


Length of low land = 48m


breadth of low land = 31.5m


height of low land = 6.5 dcm = 0.65 m


A/Q, Volume of field to be scooped = volume of low land


27×18.2×H = 48×31.5×0.65


H =


H = 2m
