Correct Answer: 432 cm 2


Solution : Volume of cuboid = 576 cm 2
The ratio of length, breadth, and height of a cuboid = 3 : 4 : 6
Let the length, $l$ = $3x$, breadth, $b$ = $4x$, and height, $h$ = $6x$.
Volume of cuboid = $l×b×h$ = $3x×4x×6x$
⇒ 576 = 72$x^{3}$
⇒ $x^{3}$ = 8
⇒ $x$ = 2
So, $l$ = $3x$ = 6 cm
$b$ = $4x$ = 8 cm
$h$ = $6x$ = 12 cm
Total surface area = $2(lb+bh+hl)$
= 2 × (6 × 8 + 8 × 12 + 12 × 6)
= 2 × (48 + 96 + 72)
= 432 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 432 cm 2 .
