10)   If the length, breadth and the height of a cuboid are in the ratio 6: 5: 4 and if the total surface area is 33300 cm2, then length breadth and height in cms, are respectively?

a. 90, 85, 60
b. 85, 75, 60
c. 90, 75, 70
d. 90, 75,60
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: 90, 75,60

Explanation:
Length = 6x

Breadth = 5x

Height = 4x in cm

Therefore, 2(6x × 5x + 5x × 4x + 6x × 4x) = 33300

148×2 = 33300

=> x2 = 33300/148 = 225

=> x = 15.

Therefore, Length = 90cm,

Breadth = 75cm,

Height = 60cm

90, 75 , 60 cm
