A solid metal cube of side 3 cm is placed in a rectangular tank of dimension 3, 4 and 5 cm. What volume of water can the tank now hold
A
48 cm3
B
33 cm3
C
60 cm3
D
27 cm3
correct option: b
Volume of cube = L3
33 = 27cm3
volume of rectangular tank = L x B X h
= 3 x 4 x 5
= 60cm3
volume of H2O the tank can now hold
= volume of rectangular tank - volume of cube
= 60 - 27
= 33cm3
33 = 27cm3
volume of rectangular tank = L x B X h
= 3 x 4 x 5
= 60cm3
volume of H2O the tank can now hold
= volume of rectangular tank - volume of cube
= 60 - 27
= 33cm3
