Question

The capacity of a cuboidal tank is 87500 litres of water. Find the breadth of the tank, if it length and depth are respectively 2.5 m and 10 m.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let breadth(b)=x m

l=2.5 m, h=10 m

V=l×b×h=(2.5×x×10)m

3

=25x m

3

Capacity of a tank =25x m

3

=50000 litres

⇒25x m

3

=50 m

3

⇒x=2

Hence, b=2 m.

Answer 2

$Answer⬇️$

Let breadth(b)=x m

l=2.5 m, h=10 m

V=l×b×h=(2.5×x×10)m³

=25x m³

Capacity of a tank =25x m³=50000 litres

⇒25x m³=50 m³

⇒x=2

Hence, b=2 m.
