Solution

The correct option is C 18
Given:
Height of hall = 21.75 ft
= 21.75 × 12
= 261 inch
Height of box = 14 inch

Let the number of boxes stacked in the hall be x
so,
14x ≤ 261

x ≤ $\frac{126}{14}$

x ≤ $18 \frac{9}{14}$

Hence,
The maximum number of boxes that can be stacked one over another in the hall are 18.
