Which of the following two will provide more volume?
I) A cuboid of edges 6 cm, 7 cm and 8 cm
II) A cube of edge 7 cm
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Cube will have more volume.
Formula used:
Volume of cuboid = l × b × h ---- (1)
Volume of cube = side3 ----- (2)
Where, l = length, b = breadth and h = height
Calculations:
Using the equations (1) and (2),
Volume of cuboid = 6 × 7 × 8 = 336 cm3
Volume of cube = 73 = 343 cm3
Hence, the cube will have more volume.
