      Question

      The lateral surface area of a cube is 256 cm2

      . The length of a cuboid is 50% more than the side of the cube. The breadth of the cuboid is 5 cm less than its length and 20% less than its height. Find the total surface area of the cuboid.
      A 592 cm^2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 500.50 cm^2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 572 cm^2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 506.82 cm^2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E 501.50 cm^2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the length of the cube be ‘a’ cm
      According to the question,
      4a2 = 256
      => a2 = 64
      => a = 8
      Therefore, length of the cuboid = l = 1.5 × 8 = 12 cm
      Breadth of the cuboid = b = 12 – 5 = 7 cm
      Height of the cuboid = h = 7/0.8 = 8.75 cm
      Therefore, total surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh) = 2 × {(12 × 7) + (7 × 8.75) + (12 × 8.75)} = 500.50 cm2
