Question

What will be the length of the longest rod which can be placed in a box of 80 cm length, 40 cm breadth and 60 cm height?
Options:
A .  $MF#%\sqrt{11600}$MF#% cm
B .  $MF#%\sqrt{14400}$MF#% cm
C .  $MF#%\sqrt{10000}$MF#% cm
D .  $MF#%\sqrt{12040}$MF#% cm
Answer: Option A

Answer : Option A

Explanation :

What Will Be The Length Of The Longest Rod Which Can Be Plac...
The longest road which can fit into the box will have one end at A and
other end at G (or any other similar diagonal)
Hence the length of the longest rod = AG
Initially let's find out AC. Consider the right angled triangle ABC
What Will Be The Length Of The Longest Rod Which Can Be Plac...
AC2 = AB2 + BC2 = 402 + 802 = 1600 + 6400 = 8000

$MF#%\Rightarrow \text{AC = }\sqrt{8000}\text{ cm}$MF#%


Consider the right angled triangle ACG
What Will Be The Length Of The Longest Rod Which Can Be Plac...
AG2 = AC2 + CG2

$MF#%\begin{align}&= \left(\sqrt{8000}\right)^2 + 60^2 = 8000 + 3600 = 11600\\\\
&\Rightarrow \text{AG = }\sqrt{11600}\text{ cm}\\\\
&\Rightarrow \text{The length of the longest rod = }\sqrt{11600}\text{ cm}
\end{align} $MF#%
