Question

If a cuboid 6 cm long, 5 cm broad and 4 cm high and a cube with edge 5 cm are compared, will have a greater volume.

• A. Can't be determined
• B. Cube
• C. Cuboid

Answer 1

The correct option is B Cube

Volume of cuboid
$=\text{length}\times \text{breadth}\times \text{height}$
$=6cm\times 5cm\times 4cm=120{cm}^3$

Volume of cube
$=\text{side}\times \text{side}\times \text{side}$
$=5cm\times 5cm\times 5cm=125{cm}^3$

$\Rightarrow$Volume of cube > Volume of cuboid

$\therefore$ cube has greater volume.
