Correct Answer: 40


Solution : Dimensions of cuboid are 20, 16 and 8 cm.
The length of the side of the cube = 4
Volume of cuboid = $l\times b\times h$
Volume of cube = $a^3$
Number of cubes = $\frac{\text{Volume of cuboid}}{\text{Volume of cube}}$
= $\frac{20\times 16\times 8}{4\times4\times4}$
= 40
Hence, the correct answer is 40.
