Correct Answer: 396 cm 2
Solution :
Length of rectangular sheet = 24 cm
Breadth of rectangular sheet = 18 cm
Side of cut-out square = 3 cm
Length of the box $(l)$ = [24 – (3 + 3)] = 18 cm
Breadth of the box $(b)$ = [18 – (3 + 3)] = 12 cm
Height of the box $(h)$ = 3 cm
Surface area of an open rectangular box = $lb + 2(bh + hl)$
= [18 × 12 + 2(12 × 3 + 3 × 18)]
= [216 + 2(36 + 54)]
= 216 + 180
= 396 cm

Hence, the correct answer is 396 cm
