Let x = the width
Let y = the length
Let z = the height
So, the volume = xyz

Area of one face = 12
We can write: xy = 12

Area of one face = 15
We can write: xz = 15

Area of one face = 20
We can write: yz = 20

Combine to get: (xy)(xz)(yz) = (12)(15)(20)
Simplify: x²y²z² = 3600
Rewrite as: (xyz)² = 60²
So, xyz = 60
In other words, the volume = 60

Answer: B

Cheers,
Brent

The volume of the above rectangular solid is xyz and the areas of three of its faces are xy, yz, zx.
We may assume xy = 12, yz = 15 and zx = 20 without loss of generality.
Therefore, (xy)(yz)(zx) = (xyz)^2 = 12*15*20 = 3600 = 60^2
Thus, the volume is xyz = 60.

Therefore, the answer is B.

The dimensions of the rectangular solid must be 3, 4, 5 so that the areas of its three faces could be 3 x 4 = 12, 3 x 5 = 15 and 4 x 5 = 20. So the volume of the solid is 3 x 4 x 5 = 60.
