As you have provided the units which is second here for time, option a, c and e are incorrect

Ans C

Density = Mass/Volume

As the slab is in cuboid shape, volume will be length x breadth x height

Thus, Mass = density x volume

Volume = 100 cm x 300 cm x 4 cm

2.75 x 100 x 300 x 4

The correct option is (E)

Option (b) is incorrect because unit for density is incorrect

Option a is incorrect due to incorrect formula. Thus option € is correct where the metre values are first converted into centimetre and proper formula is used.
