Answer

Given,

Inner dimensions of wooden box are 2 m, 1.2 m and 0.75 m.

Thickness of the wood = 2.5 cm = 2.5100\dfrac{2.5}{100} = 0.025 m.

So the external dimensions of wooden box are,

⇒ (2 + 2 × 0.025), (1.2 + 2 × 0.025), (0.75 + 2 × 0.025)

⇒ (2 + 0.05), (1.2 + 0.05), (0.75 + 0.5)

⇒ 2.05 m, 1.25 m, 0.80 m.

By formula,

Volume of solid = External volume of box – Internal volume of box

Substituting the values we get,

Volume of solid = (2.05 × 1.25 × 0.80) – (2 × 1.2 × 0.75)

= 2.05 – 1.80

= 0.25 m3.

Cost of box = Cost per m3 × Volume of box

= ₹ 22,000 × 0.25

= ₹ 22,000 x 25100\dfrac{25}{100}

= ₹ 5,500.

Hence, cost of wood required to make the box is ₹ 5,500.
