    If the sum of the length, breadth and height of a rectangular parallelepiped is 24 cm and the length of its diagonal is 15 cm, then its total surface area is

    A)  \[351\,c{{m}^{2}}\]                       

    B)  \[256\,c{{m}^{2}}\]           

    C)         \[265\,c{{m}^{2}}\]          

    D)         \[315\,c{{m}^{2}}\]                       

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let length = \[l\], breadth = b, height == h. \[l+b+h=24\] (given)             .....(i) Diagonal of parallellopiped= 15 cm \[\sqrt{{{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}}=15\] or  \[{{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}=225\] Squaring eqn. (i) on both sides \[{{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}+2lb+2bh+2hl=576\] \[2(l\,b+bh+hl)=576-225=351\] [\[\because \] Surface area of parallellopiped \[=2(l\,b+bh+hl)\]]
