$A$ box open from the top is made from a rectangular sheet of dimensions $a \times b$ by cutting squares of side $x$ from each of the four corners and folding up the flaps. If the volume of the box is maximum,then $x$ is equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{a+b-\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-ab}}{12}$
  • B
    $\frac{a+b-\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+ab}}{6}$
  • C
    $\frac{a+b-\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-ab}}{6}$
  • D
    $\frac{a+b+\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-ab}}{6}$
