    A cistern of capacity 8000 litres measures externally 3 m by 6 m by 1 m and its walls are 5 cm thick. The thickness of the bottom is:

    ক)
    90 cm
    খ)
    1 dm
    গ)
    1 m
    ঘ)
    1.1 cm

    Explanation

    Let the thickness of the bottom be x cm. Then, [(330 - 10) x (260 - 10) x (110 - x)] = 8000 x 1000 => 320 x 250 x (110 - x) = 8000 x 1000 => (100 – x) = (8000 x 1000) / (320 x 250) = 100 => x = 10 cm = 1 dm
