What is the maximum number Q of 27 cubic centimetre cubes that can fit in a rectangular box measuring 8 centimetre x 9 centimetre x 12 centimetre ? Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 36  B) 32  C) 24  D) 21  E) 15

Rationale: 27 cubic centimetre cubes gives side = 3 cm so if : l * w * h is 9 * 12 * 8 , then max . cube we can have are 3 * 4 * 2 = 24 l * w * h is 9 * 8 * 12 , then max . cube we can have are 3 * 2 * 4 = 24 l * w * h is 12 * 8 * 9 , then max . cube we can have are 4 * 2 * 3 = 24 l * w * h is 12 * 9 * 8 , then max . cube we can have are 4 * 3 * 2 = 24 l * w * h is 8 * 12 * 9 , then max . cube we can have are 2 * 4 * 3 = 24 l * w * h is 8 * 9 * 12 , then max . cube we can have are 2 * 3 * 4 = 24 in all cases we get q = 24 cubes . ans . c
