    A box opened at the top has its outer dimensions \[10\text{ }cm\text{ }\times 9\text{ }cm\text{ }\times \text{ }2.5\text{ }cm\]and its thickness is \[0.5\text{ }cm,\] find the volume of the metal.

    A)  \[92.5\,c{{m}^{3}}\]          

    B)  \[72\,c{{m}^{3}}\]             

    C)  \[63.5\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\]     

    D)         \[81\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\]                

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Outer dimensions of the box are 10 cm, 9 cm and 2.5 cm. Thickness of the box is \[0.5\text{ }cm.\] So, inner dimensions of the box is \[(10-2\times 0.5)cm,\] \[(9-2\times 0.5)cm,\] and \[(2.5-0.5)cm\] i.e, 9 cm, 8 cm and 2 cm Volume of the metal = Volume of outer box - Volume of inner box \[=10\times 9\times 2.5-9\times 8\times 2=225-144=81c{{m}^{3}}\]
