Two similar jugs have their heights of 8 cm and 12 cm, respectively. If the capacity of the smaller jug is 80 cm3, what is the capacity of the bigger jug (in cm3) ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
Two similar jugs have their heights = 8 cm and 12 cm
The capacity of the smaller jug = 80 cm3
We know that,
The volume of the jug is the cube of the height.
So, according to the question,
(8x)3 = 80
x = \(\frac{80}{512}\)
(12)3 = \(\frac{80}{512}\) × 1728 = 270
