Solution

The volume of one person is 0.04m3 , because when the person takes a dip in the tank, the amount of water displaced is equal to the volume of the person.

500 people take dip at the same time, then water displaced is 500×0.04=20m3

The water rises inside the tank of the area of 80m50m=4000m2

The height to which water rises =volumearea=204000=1200m=0.005m=5millimeters
