Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
Answer (D): Let the dimensions of the box be $x$, $3x$, and $4x$. Then the volume of the box is $12x^3$. Therefore the volume must be $12$ times the cube of an integer. Among the choices, only $48=4\cdot12$, $96=8\cdot12$, and $144=12\cdot12$ are multiples of $12$, and only for $96$ is the other factor a perfect cube.
答案(D):设盒子的长、宽、高分别为 $x$、$3x$ 和 $4x$。则盒子的体积为 $12x^3$。因此体积必须是 $12$ 乘以某个整数的立方。在选项中,只有 $48=4\cdot12$、$96=8\cdot12$ 和 $144=12\cdot12$ 是 $12$ 的倍数,并且只有在 $96$ 的情况下,另一个因数是一个完全立方数。
