MCQ
The possible expressions for the length, breadth and height of the cuboid whose volume is given by $3 x^3-12 x$ is:
  • $3x, (x + 2)$ and $(x - 2)$
  • B
    $x, (3x + 2)$ and $(x - 2)$
  • C
    $x, (x + 2)$ and $(3x - 2)$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: A.
$3x, (x + 2)$ and $(x - 2)$
To find the length, breadth and height, we will factorize the given polynomial.
$3 x^3-12 x$
$=3 x\left[x^2-4\right]$
$=3 x\left[x^2-(2)^2\right]$
$=3 x(x+2)(x+2)$
Therefore, the possible expressions for the length, breadth and height of the cuboid whose volume is given by $3 x^3-12 x$ are $3 x, ( x+ 2)$ and $( x-2 ).$
