Question

A rectangular diesel tanker is 2 m long, 2 m wide and 40 cm deep. How many litres of diesel can it hold?

Answer in Brief

Solution

\[\text { Lenght of the rectangular diesel tanker = 2 m  }\]

Breadth = 2 m 

Height = 40 cm

\[ = 40 \times \frac{1}{100}m ( \because 1 m = 100 cm)\]

\[ = 0 . 4 m\]

\[\text { So, volume of the tanker = lenght } \times \text { breadth  }\times\text {  height }\]

\[ = 2 \times 2 \times 0 . 4\]

\[ = 1 . 6 m^3 \]

\[\text { We konw that 1 } m^3 = 1000 L\]

\[i . e . , 1 . 6 m^3 = 1 . 6 \times 1000 L = 1600 L\]

\[ \therefore \text { The tanker can hold 1600 L of diesel } .\]
