V_C < V_A < V_B

Explanation:

The volume V_A of cylindrical container A with radius r and height b is

V_A=pixxr^2xxb=pir^2b=3.1416r^2b

The volume V_B of cylindrical container B with radius 2r and height 1/2b is

V_B=pixx(2r)^2xxb/2=pixx4r^2xxb/2=2pir^2b=6.2832r^2b

The volume V_C of cuboidal container C, having dimensions r*r*b is

V_C=rxxrxxb=r^2b

It is apparent that V_C < V_A < V_B
