Question

How many litres of water can a rectangular vessel of length 3 cm, breadth 17 cm and height 12 cm contain when it is completely filled?

• A. 0.512 litres
• B. 0.312 litres
• C. 0.612 litres
• D. 0.712 litres

Answer 1

The correct option is C

0.612 litres

Volume of water = Volume of the vessel

Given: length= 3 cm, breadth =17 cm and height =12 cm

Volume $\text{V= length}\times \text{breadth}\times \text{height}$

Volume $\text{V= 3}\times 17\times 12=612cc$

We know that, 1000 cc = 1 litre

$\therefore$ 612 cc = $\frac{612}{1000}=0.612$ litres
