Answer» Given Inner dimensions of wooden box are 2 m by 1.2 m by 0.75 m Thickness of the wood = 2.5 cm = 2.5/100 m = 0.025 m Now External dimensions of wooden box are = (2 + 2 x 0.025) by (1.2 + 2 x 0.025) by (0.75 + 2 x 0.025) = (2+0.05) by (1.2+0.05) by (0.75+0.5) = 2.05 by 1.25 by 0.80 Thus Volume of solid = External volume of box - Internal volume of box = 2.05 x 1.25 x 0.80 m3 − 2 x 1.2 x 0.75 m3 = 2.05 − 1.80 = 0.25 m3 Given, the cost of wood = Rs 5400 for 1 m3 Hence, Total cost = Rs 5400 x 0.25 = Rs 5400 x 25/100 = Rs 54 x 25 = Rs 1350 |
