The correct Answer is:
To find the dimensions of the bricks used in the Indus Valley Civilization, we need to determine the ratio of length, breadth, and height (thickness) of the bricks. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Shape of the Bricks**: - The bricks are in the shape of a cuboid. 2. **Understand the Dimensions**: - The question asks for the dimensions in the ratio of length, breadth, and height (thickness). - Let's denote: - Length = L - Breadth = B - Height (thickness) = H 3. **Given Dimensions**: - According to historical data, the dimensions of the bricks from the Indus Valley Civilization are given as: - Length (L) = 4 units - Breadth (B) = 2 units - Height (H) = 1 unit 4. **Write the Ratio**: - The ratio of length to breadth to height can be expressed as: \[ \text{Ratio} = L : B : H = 4 : 2 : 1 \] 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the dimensions of the bricks used in the Indus Valley Civilization are in the ratio of **4 : 2 : 1**.
