3.
A hall is 15 m long and 12 m broad. If the sum of the areas of the floor and the ceiling is equal to the sum of the areas of four walls, the volume of the hall is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
2(15 + 12) x h = 2(15 x 12)
 h = |
180 | m = | 20 | m. |
| 27 | 3 |
 Volume = |
 |
15 x 12 x | 20 |  m3 |
= 1200 m3. |
| 3 |

According to the question,
Sum of areas of floor and the ceilings= 4 walls area sum
Floor area = ceiling area.
Floor area= 12 * 15 = 180.
Therefore 360 = 4 areas of walls.
Floor-length = wall length.
So height of the wall = (360/4)/15= 90/15 = 6m.
the volume of the hall is one type of cuboid.
Therefore volume of cuboid = length * breadth * height.
Volume = 15 * 12 * 6 = 1080 meter cube.
Sum of areas of floor and the ceilings= 4 walls area sum
Floor area = ceiling area.
Floor area= 12 * 15 = 180.
Therefore 360 = 4 areas of walls.
Floor-length = wall length.
So height of the wall = (360/4)/15= 90/15 = 6m.
the volume of the hall is one type of cuboid.
Therefore volume of cuboid = length * breadth * height.
Volume = 15 * 12 * 6 = 1080 meter cube.

Why we using the cuboid formula? Please explain.

2*(l*h)+ 2*(b*h)= 2*(l*b).
4 walls area = floor area + ceiling area.
4 walls area = floor area + ceiling area.

The solution is wrong as it is said it is equal to the area of the 4 walls so, 4 should be multiplied.
