Solution

Dimensions of swimming pool are $200 m \times 50 m$
Area of the swimming pool $= 200 \times 50$
$= 10000 m^{2}$
Average depth of the swimming pool $= 2 m$
At the end of summer day the water level drops by $2 c m = 0.02$ [Since, $[1 c m = \frac{1}{100} m]$ ]
Volume of water lost $=$ Area $\times$ height reduced.
$= 10000 \times 0.02$
$= 200 m^{3}$
