The length and breadth of a cuboid store are in the ratio 2 : 1 and its height is 3.5 meters. If the area of its four walls (including doors) is 210 m2, then what is the volume?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 700 m3

Understanding Application

Given:

Area of four walls

(including doors)

= 210 m2

Height = 3.5 m

So,

⇒ 2(2x + x) × h = 210

⇒ 2(2x + x) × 3.5 = 210

⇒ 21x = 210

⇒ x = 10

Volume = l × b × h

Hence,

Volume = 20 × 10 × 3.5

= 700 m3
