The ratio of the edges of rectangular parallelepiped is 1 : 2 : 3 a
| The ratio of the edges of rectangular parallelepiped is 1 : 2 : 3 and its volume is 1296 cubic cm. The area of the whole surface in sq.cm is
A. 696
B. 792
C. 824
D. 548
Right Answer is: B
SOLUTION
Volume of parallelepiped = l × b × h
Where l: length, b: breadth, h: height
l:b:h = 1∶ 2∶ 3
volume
X = 36
Hence l = 36/6 = 6cm; b=36/3 =12cm; h=36/2 = 18cm
Surface area of parallelepiped = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(6 × 12 + 12 × 18 + 18 × 6) = 2(72 + 216 + 108) = 2(396) = 792 cm2
