According to the question, the volume of soil dug will be equal to the volume of the platform created.

Thus we can write :  

The volume of soil dug = Volume of platform

    \\\Rightarrow \pi r^2h\ =\ Area\times h\\\\\Rightarrow \pi \times \left ( \frac{7}{2} \right )^2\times 20\ =\ 22\times 14 \times h\\\\\Rightarrow h\ =\ \frac{5}{2}\ m

Thus the height of the platform created is 2.5 m.
