Option 1: $11\frac{1}{9}\%$

Question : What is the length of the longest rod that can be placed in a room of dimensions 12 m × 9 m × 8 m?

Option 1: 15 m

Option 2: 17 m

Option 3: 16 m

Option 4: 14 m

Team Careers360 21st Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 17 m


Solution : Given: Dimension of the room = 12 m × 9 m × 8 m
Length of the longest rod= $\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}$ [where $l,b,h$ are length, breadth, and height respectively.]
 = $\sqrt{12^2+9^2+8^2}$
 = $\sqrt{144+81+64}$
 = $\sqrt{289}=17$
Hence, the correct answer is 17 m.
