Detailed Solution

Given, L is length =200m,
B is breadth = 50m.
We know, Area of cuboid = length × breadth
Area of pool = 200m×50m
1000 m 2  
Because 1m = 100cm so, level drop = 2cm
2 100 m  
Water Lost = Level drop ×   Area of pool.
Water Lost =  2 100 ×10000 Water Lost = 200 m 3  
Therefore, the correct option is 1.
