Correct Answer: 480


Solution : Length of cuboid, $l$ = 80 cm
Breadth of cuboid, $b$ = 64 cm
Height of cuboid, $h$ = 50 cm
Side of a cube, $a$ = 8 cm
But height, $h$ should be multiple of $a$.
Here, Height utilised = 50 – 2 = 48 cm
Let $n$ be the number of cubes.
The volume of a cuboid = number of cubes × volume of a cube
$l×b×h=n × a^3$
$⇒80 × 64 × 48=n × 8 × 8 × 8$
$⇒n=\frac{80 × 64 × 48}{8 × 8 × 8}$
$\therefore n = 480$
Hence, the correct answer is 480.
