SSC MTS - 19 July 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

Find the length of the diagonal of a closed cube 'whose total surface area is 96m2.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e 4√3

Concept Used :

TSA of a cube = 6a2

Diagonal of a cube = 3a{\sqrt{3}}a

Given :

TSA = 96

⇒ 6a2 = 96

⇒ a2 = 96/6

⇒ a2 = 16

⇒ a = (16)1/2

⇒ a = 4

Now, the diagonal of the gven cube = 3a{\sqrt{3}}a =43 4 {\sqrt{3}}

Hence the diagonal of cube is 43 4 {\sqrt{3}} cm.
