A rectangular water tank is 1.5 m high, 3 m long and 3.5 m wide. How much water (in litres) can it hold?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 15750
Given:
Length = 3 m
Breadth = 3.5 m
Height = 1.5 m
Formula used:
Volume of cuboid = Length × breadth × height ----- (1)
Calculations:
Using equation (1), we get
Volume of tank = 3 × 3.5 × 1.5
⇒ 15.75 m3
We know that, 1 m3 = 1000 litre
⇒ 15.75 × 1000 = 15750 litre
