Solution

[No. of persons = `" Vol. of the hall"/"Vol. of air required for each person"`]

Length of the hall = 40 m

breadth = 25 m

Height = 15 m

Volume of the hall = `"L" xx "B" xx "H"`

= `40 xx 25 xx 15`

= 15000 m3

The volume of the air required for each person = 5m3

No. of persons who can be accommodated = `" Volume of the hall"/"Volume of air required for each person"`

= `(15000 "m"^3)/(5 "m"^3)`

= 3000
