Question

If the base of a $2$ m long prism is $50cm\times 60cm$, how much water (in liter) can be stored in it?

• A. $6,000cc$
• B. $6,000liter$
• C. $600liters$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $600liters$

Length of the prism $=50cm$
Breadth of the prism $=60cm$
$\therefore$ Area of the base of the prism $=50\times 60=3000c{m}^2$

Height of the prism $=2m=2\times 100=200cm$

$\therefore$ Volume of the prism $=$ area of base $\times$ height $=3000\times 200=600000c{m}^3$

Now, $1$ cc or $1c{m}^3=0.001liter$
$⟹600000cc$ = $600000\times 0.001=600liter$

Thus, $600$ liters of water can be stored in the prism.

Option (c.) is correct.
