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.
