SSC CPO - 10 Nov 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q123

The volume of a wall, six times as high as its breadth and half as long as its height, is 23958 cm3. What is the breadth of the wall?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 11 cm

Given that

The volume of a wall = 23958 cm3

The length, breadth, and height of the wall = 3x, x, 6x respectively

The volume of a wall = l * b * h = 23958

3x * x * 6x = 23598

18x3 = 23598

x3 = 1331

x = 11

Hence, the breadth of the wall = x = 11 cm
