Water level in the pool will rise more if Brick is dropped in boat than in water. If brick is dropped in the boat , volume of water equal to the weight of the brick will be dispaced, else only volume of brick will be replaced. Considering density of brick being higher water will raise more if Brick is dropped into boat.
