Given:

The length, width, and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 10:17:14.

Total surface area = 1096 cm2

Formula used:

Total surface area of a cuboid = 2 × (length × width + width × height + height × length)

Let the length = 10x, width = 17x, and height = 14x.

Calculation:

Total surface area = 2 × (length × width + width × height + height × length)

1096 = 2 × [(10x × 17x) + (17x × 14x) + (14x × 10x)]

⇒ 1096 = 2 × [170x2 + 238x2 + 140x2]

⇒ 1096 = 2 × 548x2

⇒ 1096 = 1096x2

⇒ x2 = 1

⇒ x = 1

Length = 10x = 10 × 1 = 10 cm

∴ The correct answer is option (3).
