According to a certain nation's postal regulation, a package in a rectangular shipping box qualifies for express shipping only if its two smallest dimensions do not exceed 20 centimeters and 40 centimeters, respectively. A particular rectangular shipping box with dimensions L, W, and H, in centimeters, where LWH = 18,000 and L≥ W≥ H, qualifies for express shipping.

Given that one of the box's dimensions is 20 centimeters, select for L and for W measurements, in centimenters, that could be the length and the width of the box, jointly consistent with the information. Make only two selections, one in each column.

­Again a pretty straight forward questions. 

What is important is:-
LWH = 18000
one of the dimension is 20, so the other two would be 18000/20 or 900.

Look for a pair of options whose product is 900. But keep in mind that the values can be same.
Only possibility is 30*30

­Hi chetan2u,

Can the values be the same in TPA and MSR type of questions? This is the first question I have ever encountered having this feature.

nijat00, you can find many official questions now that have same answer. So, always check for that possibility.
Felipe54321, We are given \(L\geq W\geq H\), so L as 10 will not fit in.­

If one of them is 20, the second would be 900/20 or 45. But 45 is not an option.
