Explanatory Answer


From the given data, we know
l2 + b2 = 9k -------- (1)
b2 + h2 = 12k ------- (2)
l2 + h2 = 15k -------- (3)
Adding (1) , (2) and (3) we get
2(l2 + b2 + h2) = 36 k
l2 + b2 + h2 = 18k -----(4)
Subtracting (1), (2) , (3) from (4) we get
h2 = 9k
l2 = 6k
b2 = 3k
Thus, ratio of shortest edge to longest edge = = 1:


The question is "If the rectangular faces of a brick have their diagonals in the ratio 3 : 2 \\sqrt{3}) : \\sqrt{15}), then the ratio of the length of the shortest edge of the brick to that of its longest edge is "

Hence, the answer is 1 : \\sqrt{3})

Choice A is the correct answer.
