    If the sum of three dimensions: u id the total surface area of a rectangular box are 12 cm and \[94\,c{{m}^{2}}\] respectively, then the maximum length of a stick that can be placed inside the box is

    A) \[5\sqrt{2}\,cm\]

    B) 5 cm

    C) 6 cm                            

    D) \[2\sqrt{5}\,cm\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\therefore \]      \[~x+y+\text{ }z=12\]                          ? (i) \[\therefore \]      \[2(xy+yz+zx)=\text{9}4\]                     ? (ii) \[\therefore \] \[~{{(x+y+\text{ }z)}^{2}}={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+\text{ }{{z}^{2}}+2xy+2yz+2zx\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[~144={{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+\text{ }{{z}^{2}}+94\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[~{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+\text{ }{{z}^{2}}=144-94=50\] \[\therefore \] Maximum length of stick \[=~\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+\text{ }{{z}^{2}}}\]             \[=\sqrt{50}=5\sqrt{2}\,cm\]
