How many cubes of length 50 cm can be accommodated in a container of 5 m in length, 2 m in width, and 5 m in height?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 400.
Container dimensions:
Length = 5 m = 500 cm
Width = 2 m = 200 cm
Height = 5 m = 500 cm
Volume of container = 500 × 200 × 500 = 5,00,00,000 cm3
Volume of 1 cube (side = 50 cm) = 50 × 50 × 50 = 1,25,000 cm3
Number of cubes = Volume of container/Volume of 1 cube = 5,00,00,000/1,25,000 = 400
