Solution

The correct option is B

length = 30 cm, breadth = 40 cm and height = 40 cm


Given: The ratio of length, breadth and height of a cuboid= 3: 4: 4 and volume is 48000cm3

Let the length, breadth and height be 3x, 4x, 4x respectively

Volume of cuboid = length×breadth× height

3x × 4x × 4x = 48000cm3

48x3 = 48000cm3

x3 = 1000cm3

x = 10 cm

Now the length = 3x

= 3 × 10cm

= 30cm

breadth = 4x

= 4 × 10cm

= 40cm

and height = 4x

= 4 × 10cm

= 40cm
