When I just copy the code and try to launch it there was shown error that “no matching member function for call to ‘GetObject’”. How then this function was used in mentioned tutorial ?

I see no problem with this code (using hsimple.root from the $ROOTSYS/tutorials/ directory:

TH1F *read_ntuple()
{
   TFile f("hsimple.root");
   TNtuple *myntuple = nullptr;
   f.GetObject("ntuple", myntuple);
   TH1F *h = new TH1F("h", "h", 64, -10, 10);
   h->SetDirectory(nullptr);
   for (auto ievt: ROOT::TSeqI(myntuple->GetEntries())) {
      myntuple->GetEntry(ievt);
      auto xyzt = myntuple->GetArgs(); // Get a row
      if (xyzt[2] > 0) h->Fill(xyzt[0] * xyzt[1]);
   }
   h->Draw();
   return h;
}
