Correct Answer: 128 cm 2
Solution : Take l as the length of the cuboid, b as the breadth of the cuboid, h as the height of the cuboid. According to the given information, the sum of the length and breadth of the cuboid is 16 cm: l + b = 16 Also, the height h is $\frac{1}{4}$ of the sum of the length and breadth: ⇒ h = $\frac{1}{4}$(l+b) find the lateral surface area (LSA) of the cuboid. The formula for the lateral surface area of a cuboid is: LSA = 2h (l + b) ⇒ LSA=2 × $\frac{1}{4}$(l+b))(l+b) ⇒ LSA = $\frac{1}{2}$ (l+b)(l+b) ⇒ LSA = $\frac{1}{2}$ 16 ×16 ⇒ LSA = 128 cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is 128 cm 2 .

Question : The length of a cuboid is 10 cm. If the breadth of the cuboid is half of its length and the height of the cuboid is twice its length, then what is the lateral surface area of the cuboid?
Question : The length of a cuboid is 4 cm. If the breadth of the cuboid is four times its length and the height of the cuboid is twice its length, then what is the lateral surface area of the cuboid?
Question : The length of a cuboid is half of its breadth and the height of the cuboid is thrice of its breadth. If the breadth of the cuboid is 12 cm, then what is the total surface area of the cuboid?
Question : The length of a cuboid is six times its breadth and the height of a cuboid is four times its breadth. If the breadth of the cuboid is 3 cm, then what is the total surface area of the cuboid?
Question : The sum of the length and breadth of a cuboid is 40 cm. If the height of the cuboid is $\frac{1}{5}$ of the sum of its length and breadth, then what is the lateral surface area of the cuboid?
