Question

A cuboidal milk tank is 1.2 m long, 1m wide and 0.6 m deep. Find the capacity of the tank in litres.

• A. 420 litres
• B. 620 litres
• C. 720 litres
• D. 520 litres

Answer 1

The correct option is C 720 litres

Length of the tank ($l$) = 1.2 m = 120 cm
Breadth of the tank ($b$) = 1 m = 100 cm
Depth of the tank ($h$) = 0.6 m = 60 cm
Volume of the tank = $l\times b\times h$
= $120\times 100\times 60$
= 7,20,000 cm${}^3$
$\because$ 1 litre = 1000 $c{m}^3$
$\therefore$ Volume of the tank = $\frac{720,000}{1000}$ litres
= 720 litres
