Question

A wood 1 cm thick required to make a box of dimensions $24cm\times 22cm\times 17cm$, is

• A. $2276c{m}^3$
• B. $2500c{m}^3$
• C. $2600c{m}^3$
• D. $2376c{m}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $2376c{m}^3$

Outer volume of the box $=24\times 22\times 17=8976c{m}^3$

Inner volume of the box

$=(24-2)\times (22-2)\times (17-2)$

$=22\times 20\times 15=6600c{m}^3$

Therefore, the wood required

$=8976-6600=2376c{m}^3$

Hence, this is the answer.
