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

  1. 8960
  2. 5120
  3. 4830
  4. 6420

Answer

Square of length 8 m is cut, so for two sides a total of 16 m has to be deducted from the metallic sheet.

Length = (48 - 16) m = 32 m

Breadth = (36 - 16) m = 20 m

Height = 8 m

Volume = L x B x H

Volume = 32 x 20 x 8 = 5120 m3

The correct option is B.
