The dimensions of the bar are 5 centimeters by 6 centimeters, and the bar is 4 centimeters deep. Approximately how many centimeters of liquid gold must be added to the bar so that it is completely full?
A 27
B 30
C 56
D 64
E 120
Volume of the rectangular bar = 5*6*4 = 120 cubic cm
Volume of the melted gold = 4*2*2*2 = 32 cubic cm
Now the melted gold has been poured into the rectangular hollow bar. So, the volume that needs to be filled = 120-32 cubic cm =
88 cubic cm
There is no option given as such.

This doesn't look right. The dimension should be cubic cm.
Can you post the OA ?
