Let V and A denote the volume and surface area of a cuboid of dimension a, b and c units respectively. Which one is correct answer? |
$\frac{A}{V}=\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\right)$ $\frac{A}{V}=3\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}\right)$ $\frac{A}{V}=\left(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{2}{b}+\frac{3}{c}\right)$ $\frac{A}{V}=\left(\frac{2}{a}+\frac{2}{b}+\frac{2}{c}\right)$ |
$\frac{A}{V}=\left(\frac{2}{a}+\frac{2}{b}+\frac{2}{c}\right)$ |
We have, Dimensions of a cuboid = a, b and c units Then the volume = a × b × c = V and total surface area of cuboid = 2(ab + bc + ca) = A So, if we divide area by volume we get = \(\frac{A}{V}\) = \(\frac{2(ab + bc + ca)}{a × b × c}\) = $\frac{A}{V}=\left(\frac{2}{a}+\frac{2}{b}+\frac{2}{c}\right)$ |
