Question

A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m $\times$ 36 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m, the volume of the box (in m${}^3$) is:

• A. 4830
• B. 5120
• C. 6420
• D. 9840

Answer 1

The correct option is B

5120

Clearly, l = (48 -- 16) m = 32 m, b = (36 -- 16) m = 20 m, h = 8 m

$\therefore$Volume of the box = (32$\times$20$\times$8) m${}^3$ = 5120 m${}^3$
