  1. The base of a right pyramid is a square of side 40 cm long. If the volume of the pyramid is 8000 cm³, then its height is :
    1. 5 cm
    2. 10 cm
    3. 15 cm
    4. 20 cm
Correct Option: C

Area of the base = 40 × 40 = 1600 sq.cm
We know,

∴ Volume of pyramid =
1
× area of base × height
3

⇒ 8000 =
1
× 1600 × h
3

⇒ h =
8000 × 3
= 15 cm.
1600
