Correct Answer: $1$


Solution : Given: Inner surface area = 262 cm 2
The length, breadth, and height are 10 cm, 9 cm, and 7 cm, respectively.
Let the thickness of the wood be $x$ cm.
Surface area of the cuboid = 2(length × breadth + length × height + breadth × height)
Area of inner surface $= 2(9 - 2x)(10 - 2x) + 2(9 -2x)(7 - 2x) + 2(10- 2x)(7 - 2x)$
$⇒ 262 = 2(9 - 2x)(10 - 2x) + 2(9 -2x)(7 - 2x) + 2(10 - 2x)(7- 2x)$
Putting the value of $x = 1,$ the above equation is satisfied.
Hence, the correct answer is $1$.
