उत्तर

Let the length, breadth and height of the rectangular solid be 'a', 'b' and 'c' respectively.
∴ a : b : c = 6 : 4 : 3     ...(Given)
Let the common multiple be x
a = 6x cm
b = 4x cm
c = 3x cm
The total surface area of the cuboid
= 1728cm2                ...(Given)
2(lb + bh + hl) = 1728
2(ab + bc + ca) = 1728
2[(6x . 4x) + (4x . 3x) + (3x . 6x)] = 1728

24x2 + 12x2 + 18x2 = `(1728)/(2)`
54x2 = 864

x2 = `(864)/(54)`
x2 = 16
x = `sqrt(16)`
∴ x = 4
∴ a = 6x = 6 x 4 = 24cm
∴ b = 4x = 4 x 4 = 16cm
∴ c = 3x = 3 x 4 = 12cm
Hence, the dimensions of the rectangular solid are 24cm, 16cm and 12cm.

Shanti Sweets Stall was placing an order for making cardboard boxes for packing their sweets. Two sizes of boxes were required. The bigger of dimensions 25 cm × 20 cm × 5 cm and the smaller of dimensions 15 cm × 12 cm × 5 cm. For all the overlaps, 5% of the total surface area is required extra. If the cost of the cardboard is Rs 4 for 1000 cm2, find the cost of cardboard required for supplying 250 boxes of each kind.


Parveen wanted to make a temporary shelter for her car, by making a box-like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of the car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make the shelter of height 2.5 m, with base dimensions 4 m × 3 m?
