Question

Shanti sweets stall was placing the order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes of boxes are required. The bigger of dimensions 25 cm× 20 cm× 5 cm and the smaller dimensions 15 cm× 12 cm×5cm.For all the overlaps, 5% of total surface area is required extra. If the cost of cardboard is rs 4 for 1000 cm square. Find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.​

Answer 1

Given:-

• The bigger of dimensions 25 cm× 20 cm× 5 cm and the smaller dimensions 15 cm× 12 cm×5cm.
• all the overlaps, 5% of total surface area is required extra.
• the cost of cardboard is rs 4 for 1000 cm square.

To find:-

• Find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.

Solutions:-

• Length of bigger box = 25cm
• Breadth of bigger box = 20cm
• Height of bigger box = 5cm

Total surface area bigger box = 2(lb + bh + hl)

= 2(25 × 20 + 20 × 5 + 5 × 25)

= 2(500 + 100 + 125)

= 2 × 725

= 1450cm²

Extra area required for overlapping = 1450 × 5 / 100

= 1450/20

= 72.5cm²

While considering all overlaps total of 1 bigger box.

= 1450 + 72.5

= 1522.5cm²

Area of cardboard sheet required for 250 such bigger boxes.

= 1522.5 × 250

= 380625cm²

Total surface area of smaller box.

= 2(15 × 12 + 15 × 5 + 12 × 5)

= 2(180 + 75 + 60)

= 2 × 315

= 630

Therefore,

Extre area of required for overlapping.

= 630 × 5 / 100

= 63/2

= 31.5cm²

Total surface area of 1 smaller box while considering all overlaps.

= 630 + 31.5

= 661.5cm²

Area of cardboard sheet required for 250 smaller boxes.

= 250 × 661.5

= 165375cm²

Total cardboard sheet required = 380632 + 165375

= 546000cm²

Cost of 1000cm² cardboard sheet = Rs 4.

Cast of 546000cm² cardboard sheet.

= Rs (546000/1000 × 4)

= Rs 546 × 4

= Rs 2184

Hence, the cost of cardboard sheet required for 250 such boxes of each will be Rs 2184.

$\pmb{ \sf{Question :}}$

Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm × 12 cm × 5 cm. For all the overlaps, 5% of the total surface area is required extra. If the cost of the cardboard is Rs. 4 for 1000 cm², find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 300 boxes of each kind.

$:\mapsto{\small{\underline{\boxed{\sf{TSA \: of \: cuboid =2(lb +bh + hl)}}}}}$

$\pmb{\sf{Solution : }}$

$\red \bigstar\textsf{ \: For bigger box,}$

$\textsf{ l= 25 cm b = 20 cm h = 5 cm}$

$\textsf{Total surface area of the bigger box} \\ \textsf{= 2 (lb + bh + hl)} \\ \textsf{= 2[(25)(20) + (20)(5) + (5)(25)]} \\ \textsf{= 2(500 + 100 + 125) = 1450 cm²}$

$\sf{Cardboard \: required \: for \: all \: the \: overlap }\\ \sf{ = 1450 \times \frac{5}{100} = 72.5 \: {cm}^{2} }$

$\sf{\therefore Net \: surface \: area \: of \: the \: bigger \: box} \\ \sf{= 1450 cm² + 72.5 cm² = 1522.5 cm²}$

$\therefore \textsf {Net surface area of 250 bigger boxes} \\ \sf{= 1522.5 \times 250 = 380625 cm²}$

$\sf{Cost \: of \: cardboard = \frac{4}{1000} \times 38065 = ₹1522.50}$

$\red \bigstar \textsf { \: For smaller box,}$

$\textsf{I = 15 cm b = 12 cm h = 5 cm}$

$\textsf{Total surface area of the smaller box} \\\textsf{= 2 (lb + bh + hl)} \\\textsf{= 2[(15)(12) + (12)(5) + (5)( 15)] }\\\textsf{= 2[ 180 + 60 + 75] }\textsf{= 630cm²}$

$\textsf{Cardboard required for all the overlaps} \\ \sf{ = 630 \times \frac{5}{100} = 31.5 {cm}^{2} }$

$\therefore \textsf{Net surface area of the smaller box} \\\sf{= 630 cm^2 + 31.5 cm^2 = 661.5 cm^2}$

$\therefore \textsf{Net surface area of 250 smaller boxes} \\ \sf{ = 661.5 \times 250 = 165375 cm^2}$

$\sf{Cost \: of \: cardboard = \frac{4}{1000} \times 165375 = ₹661.50}$

⠀

$\pmb{\sf{Final \: Answer :}}$

$\textsf{Total Cost = ₹ 1522.50 + ₹661.50} \\ = \boxed{ \underline{\large{\sf \pink{ ₹2184}} }}$
