Answer 1

$\setlength{\unitlength}{5mm}\begin{picture}(5,5)\multiput(0,0)(0,6){2}{\multiput(0,0)(2,1){2}{\line(1,0){12}}\multiput(0,0)(12,0){2}{\line(2,1){2}}}\multiput(0,0)(12,0){2}{\multiput(0,0)(2,1){2}{\line(0,1){6}}}\end{picture}$

$\red{\tt{ Volume\: of\:Locker\:A = l \times b \times h }}$

$\red{\tt{\implies Volume\: of\:Locker\:A = 6feet \times 6feet \times 9feet }}$

$\red{\tt{\implies Volume\: of\:Locker\:A = {324feet}^{3} }}$

$\:\:$

$\green{\tt{ Volume\: of\:Locker\:B = {306feet}^{3} }}$

$\orange{\tt{ Locker\: storage\: bigger = A > B}}$

$\orange{\bf{ Locker\: A \:is\:bigger}}$
