Article size: 9 cm × 6 cm × 3 cm
Box size: 63 cm × 42 cm × 21 cm
Concept:
To find the number of articles that can fit into the box, we need to calculate the volume of both the article and the box. Then, we will divide the volume of the box by the volume of one article. Additionally, we need to ensure that the dimensions align correctly.
Formula Used:
Volume of a cuboid = length × width × height
Calculation:
Volume of one article:
⇒ 9 cm × 6 cm × 3 cm = 162 cm3
Volume of the box:
⇒ 63 cm × 42 cm × 21 cm = 55,566 cm3
Number of articles that can fit into the box:
⇒ 55,566 cm3 / 162 cm3
⇒ 343 articles
∴ The correct answer is option 2.
