If three equal cubes are placed adjacently in a row, then the ratio of the total surface area of the new cuboid to that of the sum of the surface areas of the three cubes will be
Cube:
Let the sides of the cube be a.
Surface area = 6a^2
Summation of Surface area of 3 cubes = 18a^2
New cuboid:
length (l) = 3a
breadth(b) = a
height(h) = a
Surface area = 2[lb+bh+hl] = 2[3a*a + a*a + a*3a] = 14a^2
Required answer = 14 a^2/18a^2 = 7:9
