Detailed Solution

Given that, the field is 200 m long and 150 m broad.
There is a plot, 50 m long and 40 m broad, near the field.
The plot is dug 7 m deep and the earth taken out is spread evenly on the field.
To find the height that the field will be elevated to.
The formula that we will require to solve this question is-
The volume of a cuboid =l×b×h,  where l, b, h are length , breadth and height of the cuboid.
Volume of the field =200×150×h  
First, we will determine the volume to be dug out
Volume =(50×40×7) m 3  
We'll now use the volume to calculate how high the field needs to be lifted:
The volume of the field = The volume of the earth dugout
200×150×h=50×40×7  
h= 50×40×7 200×150 h= 7 150  
h=0.47m  
Thus, the height to which the field is to be raised is 0.47 m.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
