A rectangular sheet of paper, 10cm long and 8cm wide has squares of side 2cm cut from each of its corner. The sheet is then folded to form a tray of depth 2cm. What is the volume of this tray?

A 32cm3

B 48cm3

C 49cm3

D 54cm3

Solution

Correct Answer: Option B

Length of tray = 10 - (2 × 2)
                      = 10 - 4
                      = 6 cm.

Breadth of tray = 8 - (2 × 2)
                       = 4 cm.

Depth of tray = 2 cm.

∴ Volume of tray = 6 × 4 × 2
                        = 48 cm3
