Explanation:

Let b is breadth and l is length of the cuboid such that,

Length, l = 3b and l = 2h

or

h = l/2

We know that, the volume of a cuboid box is given by :

V = lbh

Put all the values,


V=l* (l)/(3)* (l)/(2)\\\\750=l* (l)/(3)* (l)/(2)\\\\750* 6=l^3\\\\l=(750* 6)^(1/3)\\\\l=16.5\ cm

Breadth, b = 16.5/3 = 5.5 cm

Height, h = 16.5/2 = 8.25 cm

Hence, this is the required solution.
