Correct Answer: 351 cm 2


Solution : Given: The sum of the length, breadth and height of a rectangular parallelepiped is 24 cm and the length of its diagonal is 15 cm.
Let $l,b,$ and $h$ be the length, breadth and height of the rectangular parallelepiped.
Total surface area = $2(lb+bh+hl)$
Length of diagonal = $\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}$
According to the question,
$\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}=15$
$⇒(l^2+b^2+h^2) = 225$
Also, ($l+b+h$) = 24
$⇒(l+b+h)^2 = 24^2$
$⇒l^2+b^2+h^2+2 (lb+bh+hl) = 576$
$\therefore 2(lb+bh+hl)=576 - 225=351$ cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 351 cm 2 .
