    A wooden box measures 20 cm by 12 cm by 10 cm. Thickness of wood is 1 cm. Volume of wood to make the box (In cu cm) is 

    A)                  960      

    B)  519           

    C)  2400   

    D)  1120   

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The external dimensions of the box are
    Length \[=20\,\,\text{cm},\]Breadth \[\text{12}\,\,\text{cm,}\]
    Height \[\text{=10}\,\,\text{cm}\]
    \[\therefore \] External volume of the box \[=20\times 12\times 10\]\[=2400\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\]
    Thickness of the wood \[\text{=1}\,\,\text{cm}\]
    \[\therefore \]Internal length \[=20-2=18\,\,\text{cm}\]
    Internal breadth \[=12-2=10\,\,\text{cm}\]
    Internal height\[=10-2=8\,\,\text{cm}\]
    \[\therefore \]Internal volume \[=18\times 10\times 8=1440\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\]
    \[\therefore \]Volume of the wood \[=(2400-1440)\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\]
    \[=960\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\]
