Solution

The correct option is B

36 dm, 24 dm, 12 dm


Let the length of block = 3x dm
Breadth of block = 2x dm
Height of block = x dm
Volume of the block of stone
3x×2x×x=6x3 dm3
But the given volume of the stone = 10368 dm3
x3=103686=1728
x=31728=(12×12×12)13=(123)13=12
Hence, the length of the stone = 3 × 12 = 36 dm
Breadth of the stone = 2 × 12 = 24 dm
Height of the stone = 1 ×12 = 12 dm
