Correct Answer: 22 cm 2


Solution : Given:
The sum of length and breadth = 4 cm
Length = 3 times of breadth
Height = half of the sum of length and breadth
Let breadth = $x$
⇒ Length = $3x$
⇒ Sum of length and breadth = $x + 3x = 4x$
Also, Sum of length and breadth = 4 cm
⇒ $4x=4$
⇒ $x = 1$
Height = $\frac{1}{2} ×$ (Length + Breadth) = $\frac{1}{2} ×$4 = 2 cm
So, the total surface area $=2[(3×1) + (1×2) + (2×3)] = 2(3 + 2 + 6) = 2 × 11 = 22$ cm$^2$
Hence, the correct answer is 22 cm 2 .
