Expert Answer
Dear student,
Let the length, breadth and height of the rectangular box be 2x, 3x and 4x respectively.
Surface area of the box = 2(lb +bh + hl)
1300 = 2(6x2 + 12x2 + 8x2)
1300 = 2(26x2)
x2 = 1300/52 = 25
So, x = 5
Thus, the shortest edge of the box is 2x = 2.5 = 10 cm
We hope that clarifies your query.
Regards,
