Answer

Given,

Length = 60 cm

Breadth = 50 cm

Total surface area = 14800 cm2.

By formula,

Total surface area of cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

⇒ 14800 = 2(60 × 50 + 50 × h + h × 60)

⇒ 14800 = 2(3000 + 50h + 60h)

⇒ 3000 + 50h + 60h = 148002\dfrac{14800}{2}

⇒ 3000 + 110h = 7400

⇒ 110h = 7400 - 3000

⇒ 110h = 4400

⇒ h = 4400110\dfrac{4400}{110} = 40 cm.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
