Solution

Let the length of a chocolate be 5x, the breadth of a chocolate be 4x, and the height of a chocolate be 3x.

Volume of a chocolate = 7500 cm3

l × b × h = 7500

5x × 4x × 3x = 7500

5 × 4 × 3 × x3 = 7500

x= `7500/(5 xx 4 xx 3)`

x3 = 125

⇒ x3 = 53

x = 5

∴ Length of a chocolate = 5 × 5 = 25 cm

Breath of a chocolate = 4 × 5 = 20 cm

Height of a chocolate = 3 × 5 = 15 cm
