Correct option is C
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the volume of each cuboidal box and determine which
combination of boxes can hold a total of 18,440 cubic centimeters, which represents the total
volume of wooden centimeter cubes.
Step 1: Calculate the volume of each cuboidal box using the formula: Volume=Length×Breadth×Height
Box I:
Volume = 20×25×18=9000 cubic cm
Box II:
Volume = 23×20×20=9200 cubic cm
Box III:
Volume = 20×22×21=9240 cubic cm
Box IV:
Volume = 24×20×19=9120 cubic cm
Step 2: Check the combinations of the volumes to match the total volume of 18,440 cubic cm.
Option (a): I and II:
Total volume = 9000+9200=18,200 cubic cm (not a match)
Option (b): I and III:
Total volume = 9000+9240=18,240 cubic cm (not a match)
Option (c): II and III:
Total volume = 9200+9240=18,440 cubic cm (this is a match)
Option (d): II and IV:
Total volume = 9200+9120=18,320 cubic cm (not a match)
Hence, the correct answer is (c) II and III.
