Solution

The correct option is D
3:7
Given, the height of cuboid is 4 cm.
Also, it given that the length of a cuboid is twice its breadth and the breadth is twice its height.
breadth=2×height
=2×4=8 cm
length=2×breadth
=2×8=16 cm
So,
Length, l=16 cm
Breadth, b=8 cm
Height, h=4 cm

Lateral surface area =2(lh+bh)
=2(16×4+8×4)
=192 cm2
Total surface area =2(lb+bh+hl)
=2(16×8+8×4+4×16)
=448 cm2

Ratio =lateral surface areatotal surface area

=192448
=3:7
