The areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboidal tank are 3m2, 12m2 and 16 m2. The capacity of the tank, in liters, is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 24000
Concept
Volume of cuboid when area of adjacent faces are given = √(x × y × z) where x, y and z are the areas of adjacent faces.
Application
Volume of cuboid = √(x × y × z)
Putting the values
Volume of cuboid = √(3 × 12 × 16) m3
Upon solving
Volume of cuboid = 24 m3
Since 1 m3 = 1000 Litres
Volume of cuboid = 24 x 1000
= 24, 000 litres
