A glass flask contains some mercury at room temperature. It is found that at different temperatures the volume of air inside the flask remains the same. If the volume of mercury in the flask is $300 \,\,cm^3$, then volume of the flask is ........ $cm^3$. (given that coefficient of volume expansion of mercury and coefficient of linear expansion of glass are $1.8 × 10^{-4} (^o C)^{-1}$ and $9 × 10^{-6} (^o C)^{-1}$ respectively)
