SSC CGL - 02 Dec 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q66

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.
