Let height of water in tank be $h$

$\text { So, } 4 P-P=\rho_w g h \quad \ldots (1)$

$\because \frac{3}{5}$ water taken out $\frac{2}{5}$ th water is left to exert pressure

$P^{\prime}=P+\frac{2}{5} \rho_w g h$

$\Rightarrow P^{\prime} =P+\frac{2}{5} \times 3 P$   [From eq. $(1)$]

$\Rightarrow P^{\prime} =\frac{11 P}{5}$
