Question : The volume of a wall, six times as high as its breadth and half as long as its height, is 23958 cm3. What is the breadth of the wall?
Option 1: 21 cm
Option 2: 15 cm
Option 3: 11 cm
Option 4: 18 cm
Correct Answer: 11 cm
Solution : Let the breadth be $B$. Height = $6B$ Length = $\frac{1}{2} \times 6B$ = $3B$ According to the concept, The volume of a cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height ⇒ $3B \times B \times 6B = 23958$ ⇒ $B^3 = \frac{23958}{18}$ ⇒ $B^3
