Area = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz
Volume = xyz
Thus A/V = 2((xy + yz + xz)/xyz)
which is the same as
A/V = 2(1/x + 1/y + 1/z)

Q.
If V is the volume of a cuboid of dimension x, y, z and A is its surface, then A/V will be equal to
1. x^2*y^2*z^2
2. ½( 1/xy + 1/ xz + 1/ yz)
3. ½ ( 1/x +1/y+1/z)

OA- 3

OA cannot be 3. A/V will be 2( 1/x +1/y+1/z)
