A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48 m x 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 m3) is:
A. 4830
B. 5120
C. 6420
D. 8960
Answer: Option B
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Clearly, l = (48 - 16)m = 32 m,b = (36 -16)m = 20 m,
h = 8 m.
∴ Volume of the box
= (32 x 20 x 8) m3
= 5120 m3

In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares of ground is:
A. 75 cu. m
B. 750 cu. m
C. 7500 cu. m
D. 75000 cu. m
A. 84 meters
B. 90 meters
C. 168 meters
D. 336 meters
Initially : length = 48m and breadth = 36m
After cutting squares of length 8m from each corner,
new length = (48 - 2×8)m = 32m
new breadth = (36 - 2×8)m = 20m
Now, when we convert it into a box, then :
it's length = 32m
breadth = 20m and height = 8m
So, volume = l × b × h = 32 × 20 × 8 = 5120
