Given details are,

Population of village = 4000

Dimensions of water tank = 20m × 15m × 6m

Water required per head per day = 150 litres

Total requirement of water per day = 150 × 4000 = 600000 litres

Volume of water tank = l × b × h

= 20 × 15 × 6

= 1800m3

= 1800000 litres

We know that,

Number of days water last in the tank = volume of tank / total requirement

= 1800000/600000

= 3 days

∴ Water in the tank last for 3 days.
