Answer:

250

Explanation:

Bulb box and carton both are of cuboidal shape.

For bulb box the dimensions are:

  • l = 5 cm, w = 4 cm, h = 4 cm


  • V_(Bulb\: box) =lwh


  • \implies V_(Bulb\: box) =5(4)(4)


  • \implies V_(Bulb\: box) =80\: cm^3

For Carton the dimensions are:

  • l = 50 cm, w = 20 cm, h = 20 cm


  • V_(Carton) =lwh


  • \implies V_(Carton) =50(20)(20)


  • \implies V_(Bulb\: box) =20,000\: cm^3

To find the number of bulbs packed in the carton, divide the
V_(Carton) by
V_(Bulb\: box)


  • Number \:of \:bulbs =(V_(Carton))/(V_(Bulb\: box))


  • \implies Number \:of \:bulbs =(20,000)/(80)


  • \implies Number \:of \:bulbs = 250

So, 250 bulbs will be packed in one carton.
