Question : What will be the length of the longest diagonal of the cuboid having a length of 13 cm, width of 11 cm, and height of 20 cm?
Option 1: 23.45 cm
Option 2: 26.27 cm
Option 3: 34.65 cm

Option 3: Q
Option 4: P
Correct Answer: Q
Solution : Let the total amount of work be a. ⇒ Work done by L and P together = $\frac{50}{100}$a = 0.5 a ⇒ Work done by Q alone = a – 0.5 a = 0.5 a Also, Work done by P and Q together = $\frac{60}{100}$a = 0.6 a ⇒ Work done by P alone = 0.6 a – 0.5 a = 0.1 a ⇒ Work done by L = a – 0.6 a = 0.4 a $\therefore$ Q is the most efficient. Hence, the correct answer is Q.
