Solution

The correct option is B 38

Length =8 cm, Breadth = 6 cm, Height = 2 cm.

The total surface area of the box = 2(lb + bh + hl)

= 2[(8 × 6) + (6 × 2) + (2 × 8)] cm2

= 152 cm2

The area of each sheet of the paper = 2 × 2 cm2

= 4 cm2

Therefore, number of stamps required =( total surface area of gift box/area of one stamp) = 38
