Question

Mr. Sandeep was placing an order with his carpenter to make wooden boxes to pack his cotton toys which were to be delivered to his friend. Sandeep wanted 2 types of boxes. The larger one with a dimension of 25cm x 20cm x 5cm and the smaller box with a dimension of 15cm x 12cm x 5cm. Sandeep also told the carpenter that 5% of total surface area is required as extra to cover the overlaps. If the cost of the wood is Rs.4/- cmz, the cost of wood required for supplying 250 boxes of each type would be Rs. ______.[Note:-D0 NOT include spaces in your answer)

Answer 1

Correct Answer: 2184000

Step 1: Get the cost per box, overlap included.
Larger box cost \( = 1450 \times 1.05 \times 4 = 6090 \) Rs, smaller box cost \( = 630 \times 1.05 \times 4 = 2646 \) Rs.

Step 2: Add the cost of one of each.
One of each type costs \( 6090 + 2646 = 8736 \) Rs.

Step 3: Scale up to 250 of each.
Total cost \( = 250 \times 8736 = 2184000 \) Rs. \[ \boxed{2184000} \]
