Correct Answer: 351 cm 2
Solution :
Let length = $a$ cm, breadth = $b$ cm , height = $c$ cm
The sum of the dimensions of a rectangular parallelepiped = 24 cm
⇒ $a+b+c$ = 24 cm
Diagonal = 15 cm
⇒ $\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}$ = 15 cm
⇒ $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}$ = 225 cm
$(a+b+c)^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+2(ab+bc+ca)$
⇒ 576 = 225 + $2(ab+bc+ca)$
Total surface area = $2(ab+bc+ca)$ = 576 – 225 = 351 cm

Hence, the correct answer is 351 cm
