Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Internal dimension are 50cm, 36cm and 20cm
internal volume = 50 x 36 x 20cm3
1000 x 36cm3
= 36000cm3
External dimension are 54cm x 40cm x 22cm
= 2160cm2 x 22cm = 47520cm3
Volume of wood = Ext. volume - Int. volume
= 47,520cm3 - 36,000cm3
= 11,520cm3
Internal dimension are 50cm, 36cm and 20cm
internal volume = 50 x 36 x 20cm3
1000 x 36cm3
= 36000cm3
External dimension are 54cm x 40cm x 22cm
= 2160cm2 x 22cm = 47520cm3
Volume of wood = Ext. volume - Int. volume
= 47,520cm3 - 36,000cm3
= 11,520cm3
