    The outer length, breadth and height of a wooden 5 box open at the top are 10 cm, 8 cm and 5 cm % respectively. If the thickness of the wood is 1 cm, the total surface area of the box is

    A)  420 sq. cm         

    B)         452 sq. cm

    C)  451 sq. cm        

    D)         483 sq. cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Inner dimensions are \[10-2,\text{ }8-2\]and \[5-1\]i.e., \[8\text{ }cm.,6\text{ }cm.\]and\[4\text{ }cm\]. \[\therefore \]  Outer surface \[=10\times 8+2\times 5(10+8)\]                                 \[=80+180=260\,c{{m}^{2}}\] and inner surface \[=8\times 6+2\times 4(8+6)\]                 \[=48+112=160\,c{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  Total surface area of the box                                 \[=260+160=420\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}\]
