Assume that a parallelotope P is inscribed in a three-dimensional convex body C A conjecture says that , where Wi is the ratio of the width of C to the width of P for the direction perpendicular to the i-th pair of parallel facets of P. We prove three weaker inequalities. One of them is , where a3 denotes the related axial diameter of C.
