MCQ 511 Mark
Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions $(A)$ and Reason(s) $(R)$ have been put forward. Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
Assertion: The external dimensions of a wooden box are $18\ cm, 10\ cm$ and $6\ cm$ respectively and thickness of the wood is $15mm,$ then the internal volume is $765\ cm^3$
Reason: If external dimensions of a rectangular box be $l, b$ and $h$ and the thickness of its sides be $x,$ then its internal volume is $(l - 2x)(b - 2x)(h - 2x).$
Assertion: The external dimensions of a wooden box are $18\ cm, 10\ cm$ and $6\ cm$ respectively and thickness of the wood is $15mm,$ then the internal volume is $765\ cm^3$
Reason: If external dimensions of a rectangular box be $l, b$ and $h$ and the thickness of its sides be $x,$ then its internal volume is $(l - 2x)(b - 2x)(h - 2x).$

Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: A.
Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Length of box $= 18\ cm$
Width of box $= 10\ cm$
Height of box $= 6\ cm$
thickness of box $=5\text{mm}=\frac{1}{2}\text{cm}$
Internal length, width, height of the box is.
$\Big(18-\frac{2\times1}{2}\Big),\Big(10-\frac{2\times1}{2}\Big),\Big(6-\frac{2\times1}{2}\Big),$
Internal volume of box $=17\times9\times5$
$=765\text{cm}^3$
