The detailed solution for the above-written question is as follows

By prime factorization:

(i)  2700 = 2\times2\times3\times3\times3\times5\times5.      So it is not a perfect cube.

(ii)  16000 = 2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times5\times5\times5.   So it is not a perfect cube.

(iii)  64000 = 2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times5\times5\times5= 80\times80\times80.  So it is a perfect cube.

(iv)  900 = 2\times2\times3\times3\times5\times5.   So it is not a perfect cube.

(v)  125000 = 2\times2\times2\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5.   So it is a perfect cube.

(vi) 36000 = 2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times3\times3\times5\times5\times5.  So it is not a perfect cube.

(vii) 21600 = 2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times3\times3\times3\times5\times5.  So it is not a perfect cube.

(viii) 10000 = 2\times2\times2\times2\times5\times5\times5\times5.  So it is not a perfect cube.

(ix)  27000000 = 2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times3\times3\times3\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5\times5.   So it is a perfect cube.

(x)  1000 = 2\times2\times2\times5\times5\times5.  So it is a perfect cube.

We observe that the numbers above which are perfect cube have the number of zeros in multiple of 3.
