Correct Answer: 11 cm


Solution : Let the breadth be $B$.
Height = $6B$
Length = $\frac{1}{2} \times 6B$ = $3B$
According to the concept,
The volume of a cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height
⇒ $3B \times B \times 6B = 23958$
⇒ $B^3 = \frac{23958}{18}$
⇒ $B^3 = 1331$
⇒ $B = 11$
∴ The breadth of the wall is 11 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 11 cm.
