    The diagonals of the three faces of a cuboid are x, y, and z respectively. What is the volume of the cuboid?

    A)  \[\frac{xyz}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

    B)                     \[\frac{\sqrt{({{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})({{z}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-{{z}^{2}})}}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{\sqrt{({{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}})({{z}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}})({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}})}}{2\sqrt{2}}\]

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let l, b and A be the sides of cuboid.      
    \[{{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}\]                                    ?(i)
    \[{{b}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}={{y}^{2}}\]                                   ?(ii)
    and       \[{{h}^{2}}+{{l}^{2}}={{z}^{2}}\]                        ?(iii)
    \[2\,\,({{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}})={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}\][From Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii)]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}})\]
    From Eqs. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), we get
    \[h=\sqrt{\frac{{{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}}}{2}},l=\sqrt{\frac{{{z}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}{2}}\]and
    \[b=\sqrt{\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-{{z}^{2}}}{2}}\]
    Hence, volume of cuboid \[=lbh\]
    \[=\sqrt{\frac{({{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}-{{x}^{2}})({{z}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-{{z}^{2}})}{2\times 2\times 2}}\]
    \[=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\sqrt{({{y}^{2}}+{{z}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}})({{z}^{2}}+{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})({{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-{{z}^{2}})}\]
