In this paper, we will show that the spherical symmetric slices are the convex bodies that maximise the volume, the surface area and the integral of mean curvature when the minimum width and the circumradius are prescribed and the symmetric $2$-cap-bodies are the ones which minimise the volume, the surface area and the integral of mean curvature given the diameter and the inradius.
