Question:
The dimensions of a godown are 40 m, 25 m and 10 m. If it is filled with cuboidal boxes each of dimensions 2 m × 1.25 m × 1 m, then the number of boxes will
be
(a) 1800
(b) 2000
(c) 4000
(d) 8000
Solution:
The correct answer is option (c) 4000
Explanation:
Given that, the dimensions of the godown are 40 m, 25 m and 10 m
Volume = 40 m × 25 m × 10 m = 10000 m3
Given that, volume of each cuboidal box is 2 m × 1.25 m × 1 m = 2.5 m3
Hence, the total number of boxes to be filled in the godown is
= 10000/2.5 = 4000
