For the bo lets say,
l=8,
b=20,
h=2
Surface area of the box = 2 * (l*b + b*h + l*h)
= 2 * ( 8*20 + 20*2 + 2*8 )
= 432
Therefore any option which is greater than 432 square units in area.
which is => (B) 21 in by 24 in
Ans should be B

Lets say mean = m
And standard deviation = s
Now as per the question:
98 = m + 3s
58 = m - 2s
Solving the above equations for m gives m = 74.
Therefore 74.
