Given:

Side of cubical tank = 50 cm

Volume of water taken out = 61 litres = 61000 cm3

Formula used:

Volume of water removed = Area of base × Drop in water level

Area of base = Side × Side

Calculation:

Area of base = 50 × 50 = 2500 cm2

Volume of water removed = Area of base × Drop in water level

⇒ 61000 = 2500 × Drop in water level

⇒ Drop in water level = 61000 ÷ 2500

⇒ Drop in water level = 24.4 cm

∴ The correct answer is option (1).
