Solution

The correct option is D 1536 cu in
Base of the cake = 12 in

Height of the cake = 8 in

Width of the cake = 4 in



Volume of a cake
=12× Base × Height × Length

=12× 12 × 8 × 4

= 192 sq in

For eight cakes,

Volume = 8 × 192

= 1,536 cu in

Hence, the minimum volume of the box required = 1,536 cu in
