Length (l1) of bigger box = 25 cm

Breadth (b1) of bigger box = 20 cm

Height (h1) of bigger box = 5 cm

Total surface area of bigger box = 2(lb lh + bh)

= [2(25 × 20 + 25 × 5 + 20 × 5)] cm2

= [2(500 + 125 + 100)] cm2

= 1450 cm2

Extra area required for overlapping

= 72.5 cm2

While considering all overlaps, total surface area of 1 bigger box

= (1450 + 72.5) cm2 =1522.5 cm2

Area of cardboard sheet required for 250 such bigger boxes

= (1522.5 × 250) cm2 = 380625 cm2

Similarly, total surface area of smaller box = [2(15 ×12 + 15 × 5 + 12 × 5] cm2

= [2(180 + 75 + 60)] cm2

= (2 × 315) cm2

= 630 cm2

Therefore, extra area required for overlappingcm2

Total surface area of 1 smaller box while considering all overlaps

= (630 + 31.5) cm2 = 661.5 cm2

Area of cardboard sheet required for 250 smaller boxes = (250 × 661.5) cm2

= 165375 cm2

Total cardboard sheet required = (380625 + 165375) cm2

= 546000 cm2

Cost of 1000 cm2 cardboard sheet = Rs 4

Cost of 546000 cm2 cardboard sheet 

Therefore, the cost of cardboard sheet required for 250 such boxes of each kind will be Rs 2184.
