Given: length (l) of box = 1.5m
Breadth (b) of box = 1.25 m
Depth (h) of box = 0.65m
(i) Box is to be open at top
Area of sheet required.
= 2lh+2bh+lb
= [2×1.5×0.65+2×1.25×0.65+1.5×1.25]m2
= (1.95+1.625+1.875) m2 = 5.45 m2
(ii) Cost of sheet per m2 area = Rs.20.
Cost of sheet of 5.45 m2 area = Rs (5.45×20)
= Rs.109.
