Question

A water tank is 1.5 m long, 1 m wide and 0.6 m deep. Find the volume of the tank in litres.

• A. $900\text{litres}$
• B. $960\text{litres}$
• C. $1080\text{litres}$
• D. $950\text{litres}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $900\text{litres}$

Length of the tank ($l$) = 1.5 m.
Breadth of the tank ($b$) = 1 m.
Depth of the tank ($h$) = 0.6 m.
Volume of a cuboid = $l\times b\times h$.
Volume of the tank = $1.5\times 1\times 0.6m^3$
= 0.9 m${}^3$
$1m^3=1000\text{litres}$.
$\therefore$ Volume of tank = $0.9\times 1000\text{litres}$
= 900 litres
