Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Of the 3 sides, two of them are mentioned first which is 3 and 4 and the water is at 5 ft. When it is on another two sides, we now see that the other side itself is 5 ft. So, all the water is full in the tank. Only way the water can rise is upto rest side, which is 3 ft.
