Options

• 1800

• 2000

• 4000

• 8000

Answer 1

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 4000.

Explanation:

Given, dimensions of a godown are 40 m, 25 m and 10 m.

∴ Volume of godown = 40 × 25 × 10 = 10000 m³

Now, volume of each cuboidal box = 2 × 1.25 × 1 = 2.5 m³

∴ The number of boxes, that can be filled in the godown = `"Volume of godown"/"Volume of each cuboidal box"`

= `10000/2.5`

= 4000
