Answer

Let the original cuboid have length l, breadth b, and height h.

So, sides of new cuboid = 2l, 2b and 2h.

As we know that surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb + bh + hl)

The surface area of new cuboid = 2[(2l) x (2b) + (2b) x (2h) + (2h) x (2l)]

= 2(4lb + 4bh + 4hl)

= 2 x 2 x [2(lb + bh + hl)]

= 4 x surface area of the cuboid

= 2 x 2 x surface area of the cuboid

∴ Both the statements are false.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
