Detailed Solution

Given-
A well of diameter 3 m is dug 14 m deep. The earth taken out of it has been spread evenly all around it in the shape of a circular ring of width 4 m to form an embankment.
The shape of the well will be cylindrical as given below.
Question ImageGiven, depth h 1   of well = 14 m
Diameter (d) of the circular end of the well =3 m
Radius, r= d 2  
r= 3 2 m  
Width of the embankment = 4 m
From the figure, it can be said that the embankment will be a cylinder having an outer radius ( r 2  ) as 4+ 3 2 = 11 2 m   and inner radius as 3 2 m  .
Now, let the height of the embankment be h 2  .
Volume of soil dug from well = Volume of earth used to form embankment
Question ImageSo, the height of the embankment is 1.125 m.
So, the correct option is 4.
