The formula for surface area of a rectangular prism is S = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is length, w is width, and h is height. Plugging in the given values, we get S = 2(24)(7) + 2(24)(5) + 2(7)(5) = 646 in^2. 
The formula for volume of a rectangular prism is V = lwh. Plugging in the given values, we get V = (24)(7)(5) = 840 in^3. Therefore, the correct choice is A.
