Answer:

900

Explanation:

5 people are said to occupy a 1000square feet space

That means we have to look out for how many 1000 square feets are in 180000

That would be 180000/1000 = 180

But 1000 square occupies 5 persons and there are 180 1000square which can occupy 5 people in 180 000 square.

Hence 180 × 5= 900 is the number of persons that the hall can occupy.
