B .  1 dm
C .  1 m
D .  1.1 cm
Answer: Option B

Let the thickness of the bottom be x cm.

Then, [(330 - 10) x (260 - 10) x (110 - x)] = 8000 x 1000

A Cistern Of Capacity 8000 Litres Measures Externally 3.3 M ... 320 x 250 x (110 - x) = 8000 x 1000

A Cistern Of Capacity 8000 Litres Measures Externally 3.3 M ... (110 - x) = 8000 x 1000 = 100 320 x 250
