The breadth of a room is twice its height and half its length. The volume of the room is 1728 m3 .The length of the room is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 24 m.
Let the breadth of the room be b m.
Given that, b = 2h
Also b = ½l
⇒ l = 2b
Volume of room = 1728 m3
Volume of cuboid = lbh
According to the given question,
Volume of room = 2b × b ×
⇒ 1728 = b3
⇒ b = 12 m
Now, l = 2b
⇒ l = 24 m
Hence the length of the room is 24 m.
