Solution

A petrol tank is in the form of a cuboid
Given: Dimensions of the cuboid=20cm×16cm×14cm
Total surface area of the tin=2(lb+bh+lh) where l=20cm, b=16cm and h=14cm
Total surface area of the tin=2(20×16+16×14+20×14)=2(320+224+280)=1,648 sq.cm
Total area of sheet required to make such 12 tins=1648×12=19,776sq.cm
