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:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, l = (48 - 16)m = 32 m,
b = (36 -16)m = 20 m,
h = 8 m.
Volume of the box = (32 x 20 x 8) m3 = 5120 m3.

Here whether the remaining area after deducting the 4 squares is used for making box if it is so then how 8 will come at the place of height.
How is it clear from question that which area have to be used for box?

16 has been deducted because in one length of 48cm there ill be two corners.
So its really simply to just deduct length of square two times i.e. 2 * 8 = 16 for two square corner at one line.
