    If the sum of the dimensions of a rectangular parallelepiped is 24 cm and the length of the diagonal is 15 cm, then the total surface area of it is

    A) \[420\,c{{m}^{2}}\]           

    B)  \[275\,c{{m}^{2}}\]           

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

    D)         \[378\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let length, breadth and height of parallelepiped be l, b and h respectively \[l+b+h=24\,cm\] \[\sqrt{{{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}}=15\,cm\Rightarrow {{l}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}+{{h}^{2}}=225c{{m}^{2}}\]\[{{(l+b+h)}^{2}}-2(lb+hb+lh)=225\] \[{{(24)}^{2}}-225=2(lb+bh+hl)\] \[351=2(lb+bh+hl)\] Total surface area is \[351\text{ }c{{m}^{2}}.\]
