The correct answer is: 81
Volume of rectangular parallelopiped is $27 \mathrm{~m}^3$
Let $A=$ Area of base and $h$ is height
$\therefore \quad V=A h$
$\frac{d V}{d t}=A \frac{d h}{d t}$
$\frac{d V}{d t}=A\left(\frac{3 d V}{d t}\right) \quad\left[\because \frac{d h}{d t}=\frac{3 d V}{d t}\right]$
$A=1 / 3$
$\because \quad V=\frac{1}{3} h$
$27=\frac{h}{3} \Rightarrow h=81$
$\therefore$ Height of tank $=81 \mathrm{~m}$
