The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the soap content of soap `B` as compared to soap `A`. The dimensions of soap `B` are 50% more than those of soap `A`. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the dimensions of soap A**: Let the dimensions of soap `A` be: - Length = \( l \) - Breadth = \( b \) - Height = \( h \) 2. **Calculate the dimensions of soap B**: Since the dimensions of soap `B` are 50% more than those of soap `A`, we can express the dimensions of soap `B` as: - Length of B = \( l + 0.5l = 1.5l \) - Breadth of B = \( b + 0.5b = 1.5b \) - Height of B = \( h + 0.5h = 1.5h \) 3. **Calculate the volume of soap A**: The volume \( V_A \) of soap `A` is given by the formula: \[ V_A = l \times b \times h \] 4. **Calculate the volume of soap B**: The volume \( V_B \) of soap `B` can be calculated as: \[ V_B = (1.5l) \times (1.5b) \times (1.5h) \] Simplifying this: \[ V_B = 1.5 \times 1.5 \times 1.5 \times l \times b \times h = 3.375 \times (l \times b \times h) = 3.375 \times V_A \] 5. **Determine the ratio of soap content of B to A**: The soap content of `B` compared to `A` is given by the ratio of their volumes: \[ \text{Soap content of B compared to A} = \frac{V_B}{V_A} = 3.375 \] ### Conclusion: The soap content of `B` as compared to `A` is \( 3.375 \) times more. ---
