In order to set up a rainwater harvesting system, a tank to collect rain

water is to be dug. The tank should have a square base and a
capacity of 250 m3. The cost of land is ₹ 5,000 per square metre and
cost of digging increases with depth and for the whole tank, it is ₹
40,000 h2, where h is the depth of the tank in metres. x is the side of
the square base of the tank in metres.
