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.
