Solution

The correct option is A $48 m^{3}$
Given the ratio of the dimensions = 1:2:3.
Let the sides be $x, 2 x, 3 x$ .

Total surface area of a cuboid = 2(lb+bh+hl)
$= 2 (x .2 x + 2 x .3 x + x .3 x)$

$\Rightarrow 2 (2 x^{2} + 6 x^{2} + 3 x^{2}) = 88$

$\Rightarrow 22 x^{2} = 88$

$\Rightarrow x^{2} = 4 m o r x = 2 m$

Hence, the sides are 2m, 4m and 6m

Therefore, volume $= 2 \times 4 \times 6 = 48 m^{3}$ .
