You might be confused and are wondering why the correct answer here is 0. Since this question is under the IQ test, that is clearly a hint that it does not mean that the logical and mathematical answer is the answer. In solving for the cubic feet, multiply the width, length, and depth.

A yard is equal to 3 ft so, to solve for the correct answer multiply all dimensions to 3 or after getting the product, multiply it by 27. You will get an answer of 162 which is not in the choices. 0 is the right answer because the question asks for the cubic feet of dirt where John dug thus there is no dirt present in that hole.
