Solution figure for JIPMAT 2025 QA question 5 (Geometry)

The above diagram shows the rectangle of dimensions 25×2025 \times 20 cm.

When squares of side 22 cm are cut out from each side.

The new length =25−2−2=21= 25 - 2 -2 = 21 cm

The new breadth =20−2−2=16= 20 - 2 -2 = 16 cm

When folded, the height will be 22 cm

Hence, the volume will be 21×16×2=672 cm321 \times 16 \times 2 = 672 \text{ cm}^3

Hence, the correct option is Option 2.
