Surface area of the box with dimensions a,b,c is \(S=2(ab+bc+ac)\)
Here we have S=2(20*2+2*8+20*8)=2*216=432. Now check the answers:
(A) 17*25=16*25+25=425 Less.
(B) 21*24=20*24+24=504 Good!
(C) 24*12 definitely less than A
(D) 24*14 less than A
(E) 26*14=25*14+14 less than A
The correct answer is B.

Above two images show three ways to cover the rectangular ways. We can easily see that option B (21 X 24) covers the second method with (20 X 24). hence B.
