Let dw and d0 be the densities of water and oil, respectively.
Then the pressure at the bottom of the tank is hwdwg+h0d0g. Let this pressure be equivalent to pressure due to water of height h. Then,
hdwg=hwdwg+h0d0g
h=hw+h0d0dw=100+400×0.91 = 100+360=460=4.6 m 
According to Toricelli's theorem,
v=2gh=2×10×4.6m/s=92m/s.
