Naina is creative she wants to prepare a sweet box for Diwali at home. She took a
square piece of cardboard of side 18 cm which is to be made into an open box, by
cutting a square from each corner and folding up the flaps to form the box. She wants
to cover the top of the box with some decorative paper. Naina is interested in
maximizing the volume of the box.

i. Find the volume of the open box formed by folding up the cutting each corner
ii. with x cm. (1) Naina is interested in maximizing the volume of the box. So, what
should be the side of the square to be cut off so that the volume of the box is
iii. maximum? (1) Verify that volume of the box is
OR
Find the maximum volume of the box.
(2) 38 Case Study-3:
Akshat and his friend Aditya were playing the snake and ladder game. They had their
own dice to play the game. Akshat was having red
dice whereas Aditya had black dice. In the beginning, they were using their own dice to
play the game. But then they decided to make it faster and started playing with two dice
together.
Page 5 of 6
Aditya rolled down both black and red die together.
First die is black and second is red.
i. Find the conditional probability of obtaining the sum 10, given that the black die
resulted in even number.
