If the dimensions of a cuboid are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3 and its total surface area is 88 m2, then the volume of the cuboid is :
Given the ratio of the dimensions = 1:2:3.
Let the sides be x,2x,3x.
Total surface area of a cuboid = 2(lb+bh+hl)
=2(x.2x+2x.3x+x.3x)
⇒2(2x2+6x2+3x2)=88
⇒22x2=88
⇒x2=4 m or x=2 m
Hence, the sides are 2m, 4m and 6m
Therefore, volume =2×4×6=48 m3.
