Volume of crate = volume of all the things it can hold
\(V = 216*3^3 = (200 + 16)*27 = 5400 + 16*27\)
Hence answer is > 5400
Hence Option (C) is correct.
Best,

A 3 inch cube has a volume of \(3^3 = 27\) inches.
216 such cubes occupy a volume of \(216*27\) cubic inches(ends with a 2 and a big number)
Therefore, the rectangular crate which contains 216 3-inch cubes will occupy a volume of 5832 cubic units(Option E)
P.S You don't need to make the calculations if you combine rules from units digit(sometimes)
