Answer

Largest size of cylinder cut out of the wooden cuboid will be of diameter = 14 cm, radius = 142\dfrac{14}{2} = 7 cm and height = 30 cm.

Volume of cylinder = πr2h = 227×7×7×30\dfrac{22}{7} \times 7 \times 7 \times 30 = 22 × 7 × 30 = 4620 cm3.

Volume of cuboid = lbh = 30 × 14 × 14 = 5880 cm3.

Volume of wooden wasted = Volume of cuboid - Volume of cylinder = 5880 - 4620 = 1260 cm3.

Hence, the volume of cylinder = 4620 cm3 and volume of wooden wasted = 1260 cm3.
