Correct Answer: 70 feet


Solution : Here, the hall has length = 60 feet, breadth = 30 feet, and height = 20 feet
As the length of the longest rod that can be placed in a room is its diagonal
Now, the length of the diagonal of a cuboid = $\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}$
So, the length of the longest rod = $\sqrt{60^2+30^2+20^2}$ = $\sqrt{4900}$ = 70 feet
Hence, the correct answer is 70 feet.
