Find the cost of digging a cuboidal pit 8 m long, 6 m broad and 3 m deep at the rate of Rs. 30 per m3.
Length of cuboidal pit, l = 8 m
breadth, b = 6 m height, h = 3 m
∴ Volume of pit, V = l × b × h
= 8 × 6 × 3
= 144 m3 .
∴ Cost of digging a cuboidal 1 m3 is Rs. 30
Cost of digging a cuboidal pit for 144 m3 … ? …
= 144 × 30
= Rs. 4320.
