Given:

The length, breadth, and height of a cuboid are in the ratio 3 ∶ 4 ∶ 5 and its volume is 3840 cm3.

Formula used:

Volume of cuboid, V = l × b × h

Calculation:

Let the common ratio be x.

Then, length = 3x, breadth = 4x, height = 5x.

Volume = 3x × 4x × 5x = 3840 cm3

⇒ 60x3 = 3840

⇒ x3 = 64

⇒ x = 4

Smallest side (length) = 3x = 3 × 4

⇒ 12 cm

∴ The correct answer is option (1).
