Correct Answer: 2592
Solution : Volume of Cuboid = l × b × h, where l = length b = breadth h = height Volume of Cuboid = l × b × h = 8 × a 3 where 'a' is the side of the cube ⇒(12 × 54 × 72) = 8 × a 3 ⇒ (12 × 54 × 9) = a 3 ⇒ a = $\sqrt{5832}$ = 18 Lateral surface area of two sides = (4 × 4a 2 ) = 8a 2 = 8 × 18 × 18 cm 2 = 2592 cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is 2592.

Question : A solid metallic cuboid of dimensions 18 cm × 36 cm × 72 cm is melted and recast into 8 cubes of the same volume. What is the ratio of the total surface area of the cuboid to the sum of the lateral surface areas of all 8 cubes?
Question : The radius of a large solid sphere is 14 cm. It is melted to form 8 equal small solid spheres. What is the sum of the total surface areas of all 8 small solid spheres? (use $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Question : The areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboidal solid block of wax are 216 cm2, 96 cm2 and 144 cm2. It is melted and 8 cubes of the same size are formed from it. What is the lateral surface area (in cm2) of 3 such cubes?
Question : The sum of the length, breadth, and height of a cuboid is 20 cm. If the length of the diagonal is 12 cm, then find the total surface area of the cuboid.
