Question:

A cuboidal tank has a capacity of 5184 liters. If the ratio of the length, breadth and height is 2 : 3 : 4, then the length of the tank is:-

Options:

140 cm

120 cm

160 cm

190 cm

Correct Answer:

120 cm

Explanation:

Capacity of the tank = 5184 l = 5184 × 1000 m³

Volume = l × b × h

5184 × 1000 = 2x × 3x × 4x

⇒ 5184 × 1000 = 24x³

⇒ x = \(\sqrt[3]{216 × 1000}\) = 60

Length = 2 × 60 = 120 cm
