A Correct answer
Explanation

Lateral surface area of a cube = 4a^2. Total surface area = 6a^2. Ratio = 4a^2 / 6a^2 = 4/6 = 2/3.

AI explanation

Let the side of the cube be s. The lateral surface area is 4*s^2, while the total surface area is 6*s^2. The ratio of these two areas is 4*s^2 to 6*s^2. The result is 2 : 3.
