    A cuboidal water tank has 216 L of water. Its depth is \[\frac{1}{3}\] of its length and breadth is \[\frac{1}{2}\] of \[\frac{1}{3}\] of the difference of length and breadth. The length of the tank is       

    A) 75 dm              

    B) 18 dm

    C) 6 dm                            

    D) 2 dm

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the length of tank \[=x\,dm\] Depth \[=\frac{x}{3}\,dm\] Breadth \[=\left( x-\frac{x}{3} \right)\times \frac{1}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}\] \[=\frac{2x}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{9}\,dm\] Volume of tank \[=x\times \frac{x}{9}\times \frac{x}{3}=\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{27}\] According to the question,             \[\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{27}=216\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{3}}=27\times 216\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x={{(27\times 216)}^{1/3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3\times 6=18\,\,dm\]
