Answer : 1. "22/7 x 24/35"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 22/7 x 24/35 Explanation: Since level of water increased in cylinder by height 4. This is because of the rectangular block . Therefore , area of rectangular block immersed in water is = 227×6×6×4 Thats why portion of block immersed in water is = (22/7 * 36 * 4) / total vol. of rectangle = (22/7 * 36 * 4)/ (7*5*6) = (22/7 * 24)/ 35.
