The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the ratio of dimensions The length, breadth, and height of the cuboid are given in the ratio 6:5:3. We can express these dimensions in terms of a variable \( x \): - Length \( L = 6x \) - Breadth \( B = 5x \) - Height \( H = 3x \) ### Step 2: Use the formula for total surface area The total surface area (TSA) of a cuboid is given by the formula: \[ TSA = 2(LB + BH + LH) \] We know the total surface area is \( 504 \, \text{cm}^2 \). Substituting the expressions for \( L \), \( B \), and \( H \): \[ 504 = 2( (6x)(5x) + (5x)(3x) + (6x)(3x) ) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Calculating each term inside the parentheses: - \( (6x)(5x) = 30x^2 \) - \( (5x)(3x) = 15x^2 \) - \( (6x)(3x) = 18x^2 \) Now, substituting these back into the equation: \[ 504 = 2(30x^2 + 15x^2 + 18x^2) \] Combine the terms: \[ 504 = 2(63x^2) \] This simplifies to: \[ 504 = 126x^2 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x^2 \) To find \( x^2 \), divide both sides by 126: \[ x^2 = \frac{504}{126} \] Calculating the right side: \[ x^2 = 4 \] ### Step 5: Find \( x \) Taking the square root of both sides: \[ x = 2 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the dimensions Now we can find the dimensions of the cuboid: - Length \( L = 6x = 6 \times 2 = 12 \, \text{cm} \) - Breadth \( B = 5x = 5 \times 2 = 10 \, \text{cm} \) - Height \( H = 3x = 3 \times 2 = 6 \, \text{cm} \) ### Step 7: Calculate the volume The volume \( V \) of the cuboid is given by the formula: \[ V = L \times B \times H \] Substituting the values we found: \[ V = 12 \times 10 \times 6 \] Calculating this gives: \[ V = 720 \, \text{cm}^3 \] ### Final Answer The dimensions of the cuboid are: - Length: \( 12 \, \text{cm} \) - Breadth: \( 10 \, \text{cm} \) - Height: \( 6 \, \text{cm} \) The volume of the cuboid is: - Volume: \( 720 \, \text{cm}^3 \) ---
