How you determine the size of the largest possible cross section of ANY 3D solid?

Apart from a few cases it is not at all easy. You would need to consider all possible cross sections. In most cases the answer will depend on the relative measures of the different sides or edges.
A cube, for example, can have a cross section that is a point, line, triangle, square, rectangle, hexagon. The first two can be rejected since they have 0 area. But for the others, you would have to use differential calculus to determine the largest for that shape. It is, in fact, the rectangle from one edge of the cube to the diagonally opposite edge. The area is sqrt(2) times the side length.

What are dimensions of a 1.5 liter spirit bottle?
The volume of a bottle is not sufficient information to determine its dimensions. Some bottles have a wide circular cross section and are squat, others have a smaller cross section but are taller, others have a square or rectangular cross section.
What are the guidelines used to determine the relative age of a rocks and events shown by a geologic cross-section?
The guidelines used to determine the relative ages of the rocks and events shown by a geologic cross-section is the Law of Superposition. It is the basic law of geochronology.
