Answer and Feedback
Answer:B
Feedback:Side of smallest cube = L.C.M of 5, 10, 20 = 20cm
Volume of the cube = (20 x 20 x 20)cu.cm = 8000 cu.cm
Volume of the block= (5 x 10 x 20)cu.cm = 1000 cu.cm
Number of blocks = (8000/1000) = 8
Volume of the cube = (20 x 20 x 20)cu.cm = 8000 cu.cm
Volume of the block= (5 x 10 x 20)cu.cm = 1000 cu.cm
Number of blocks = (8000/1000) = 8
