Question

A rectangular diesel tanker is $2m$ long, $2m$ wide and $40cm$ deep. How many litres of diesel can it hold?

Answer 1

Length of the tanker $\left(l\right)=2m$

Breadth of the tanker $\left(b\right)=2m$

Depth of the tanker $\left(h\right)=40cm=0.4m$

$\therefore$ Volume $=l\times b\times h$

$=2\times 2\times 0.4$

$=1.6m^3$

Quantity of diesel $=1.6\times 1000=1600$ liters [$\because 1m^3=1000l$]
