Solution

The correct option is C
2

Number of buckets measuring $16 m^{3}$ used by each family = 4
$∴$ Total amount of water used by each family $= 64 m^{3}$
So, Amount of water used by 4 families = $256 m^{3}$

Therefore, number of days required to empty $4096 m^{3}$ of water $= \frac{4096}{256} = 16$

Therefore, water in the tank will last for at least 2 weeks.
