Solution
b'
Volume of inner dimensions of wooden box=l×b×h=2×1.2×0.75=1.8m3
Volume of outer dimensions of wooden box=l×b×h=(2+2.5)×(1.2+2.5)×(0.75+2.5)=4.5×3.7×3.25=54.1125m3
Volume of the wood=Outer dimension−Inner dimension
=54.1125−1.8=52.3125m3
Cost at the rate of Rs.5400 per m3=52.3125×5400=Rs.2,82,487.5
