Correct Answer: 504 cm 2


Solution : Diagonal of cube = $\sqrt{3}$ × side
⇒ $6\sqrt{3}$ = Side × $\sqrt{3}$
⇒ Side = 6 cm
So, length of cuboid, l = 3 × 6 = 18 cm
Breadth, b = 6 cm and height, h= 6 cm
So, the surface area of the cuboid
= 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(18 × 6 + 6 × 6 + 18 × 6)
= 2(108 + 36 + 108)
= 2 × 252 cm 2
= 504 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 504 cm 2 .
