Correct answer: B

  1. Surface area constraint

For the cuboid with sides 2x,4x,5x2x,4x,5x2x,4x,5x: S1=2(lb+bh+hl)=2(2x⋅4x+4x⋅5x+5x⋅2x)S_1=2(lb+bh+hl)=2(2x\cdot 4x+4x\cdot 5x+5x\cdot 2x)S1​=2(lb+bh+hl)=2(2x⋅4x+4x⋅5x+5x⋅2x) =2(8x2+20x2+10x2)=76x2=2(8x^2+20x^2+10x^2)=76x^2=2(8x2+20x2+10x2)=76x2

For a closed hemisphere of radius rrr, total surface area is: S2=3πr2S_2=3\pi r^2S2​=3πr2

Given their sum is constant kkk: 76x2+3πr2=k...(1)76x^2+3\pi r^2=k \quad ...(1)76x2+3πr2=k...(1)


  1. Volume expression

Volume of the cuboid: V1=(2x)(4x)(5x)=40x3V_1=(2x)(4x)(5x)=40x^3V1​=(2x)(4x)(5x)=40x3

Volume of the hemisphere: V2=23πr3V_2=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3V2​=32​πr3

So total volume is: V=40x3+23πr3V=40x^3+\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3V=40x3+32​πr3

We must maximize VVV subject to constraint (1).


  1. Use Lagrange multiplier / differentiation under constraint

Let F=40x3+23πr3−λ(76x2+3πr2−k)F=40x^3+\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3-\lambda(76x^2+3\pi r^2-k)F=40x3+32​πr3−λ(76x2+3πr2−k)

Then, ∂F∂x=120x2−152λx=0\frac{\partial F}{\partial x}=120x^2-152\lambda x=0∂x∂F​=120x2−152λx=0 x(120x−152λ)=0x(120x-152\lambda)=0x(120x−152λ)=0 Since x>0x>0x>0, 120x=152λ120x=152\lambda120x=152λ λ=15x19\lambda=\frac{15x}{19}λ=1915x​

Also, ∂F∂r=2πr2−6πλr=0\frac{\partial F}{\partial r}=2\pi r^2-6\pi \lambda r=0∂r∂F​=2πr2−6πλr=0 2πr(r−3λ)=02\pi r(r-3\lambda)=02πr(r−3λ)=0 Since r>0r>0r>0, r=3λr=3\lambdar=3λ

Substitute λ=15x19\lambda=\frac{15x}{19}λ=1915x​: r=3⋅15x19=45x19r=3\cdot \frac{15x}{19}=\frac{45x}{19}r=3⋅1915x​=1945x​

Hence, x:r=x:45x19=19:45x:r = x : \frac{45x}{19} = 19:45x:r=x:1945x​=19:45


  1. Check with options

Thus the required ratio is: 19:45\boxed{19:45}19:45​ So the correct option is B.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = B

Our derived answer = B

Hence, they agree.
