Correct Answer: 12 cm
Solution : The sum of the length, breadth, and height of a cuboid box is 20 cm. ⇒ $l + b + h = 20$, Where $l$ = length, $b$ = breadth, $h$ = height The total surface area of the cuboid = 256 sq. cm. ⇒ $2(lb + bh + lh) = 256$ ⇒ $lb+bh+lh=128$ The maximum length of a stick that can be placed inside the cuboid is the diagonal of the cuboid and Diagonal of cuboid = $\sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2 }$ Using formula (a + b + c) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2(ab + bc + ca), we get, $20^2 = l^2 + b^2 + h^2+ 256$ ⇒ $400 - 256 = l^2 + b^2 + h^2$ ⇒ $l^2 + b^2 + h^2 = 144$ ⇒ $ \sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2} = \sqrt{144}$ $\therefore\sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2}= 12$ Hence, the correct answer is 12 cm.
