Detailed Solution

Given- volume of a cuboid whose sides are in the ratio of 1: 2: 4.
Let the common ratio be be x.
Volume of cube with side a= volume of cuboid  a 3 =x(2x)(4x) a 3 =8 x 3 a=2x   Diagonal of the cuboid  = x 2 + (2x) 2 + (4x) 2 = x 2 +4 x 2 +16 x 2 = 21 x  
Diagonal of the cube  = 3 a =2x 3                                     = 12 x   So, the ratio of diagonals is,
21 x 12 x = 21 12  
Thus, the ratio is 21  : 12  
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
