A.

b(ax+1)a+1

B.

a+1b(ax+1)

C.

a(bx+1)b+1

D.

ba(bx+1)

Correct answer is A

If bx+y(a+1)b(a+1)=1bx+ya+y=ba+b;y(a+1)=ba+bbxy(a+1)=b(a+1x);y=b(1+axa+1

Calculate the total surface area of a cupboard which measures 12cm by 10cm by 8cm

A.

1920cm2

B.

592cm2

C.

296cm2

D.

148cm2

Correct answer is C

otal surfaced area of a cupboard = lb + lh + bh
l = length h = height b = base
l = 12cm h = 10cm b = 8cm
T.S.A = (12 \times 8 \times 12 \times 10 + 8 \times 10)cm^\\  = (96 + 120 + 80)cm^2 = 296cm^2
