The volume (in m³) of a cuboidal tank, whose dimensions are given as 16 m × 36 m × 14 m, is:
Appeared in: DSSSB 14 August 2024
Explanation
- The volume of a cuboid is calculated using the formula: Volume = Length × Width × Height.
- Substituting the given dimensions: Volume = 16 m × 36 m × 14 m.
- The product of these dimensions is 8064, so the volume of the tank is 8064 m³.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: This value is incorrect. It is likely the result of a miscalculation during the multiplication of the dimensions.
- Option C: This value is incorrect. It is likely the result of a miscalculation during the multiplication of the dimensions.
- Option D: This value is incorrect. It is likely the result of a miscalculation during the multiplication of the dimensions.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Calculation of the volume of a cuboid as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- Numeracy is a fundamental skill for nurses, essential for tasks like medication dosage calculation, IV drip rate regulation, and fluid balance charting.
- While this question is about a tank, the same mathematical principle (volume calculation) applies to determining the capacity of containers for medical supplies or calculating fluid intake/output.
- What if? - If the question asked for the capacity in liters, you would first calculate the volume in cubic meters (8064 m³) and then convert it, knowing that 1 m³ = 1000 liters. The answer would be 8,064,000 liters.
How to Approach the Question
- First, identify the key information from the question: the shape is a cuboid and the dimensions are 16 m, 36 m, and 14 m.
- Recall the formula for the volume of a cuboid: Volume = Length × Width × Height.
- Substitute the given values into the formula: Volume = 16 × 36 × 14.
- Perform the multiplication step-by-step to avoid errors: (16 × 36) = 576, then (576 × 14) = 8064.
- Compare your calculated result (8064) with the given options to find the correct answer.
