Q.

A large cube is formed from the material obtained by melting three smaller cubes of 3, 4 and 5 cm side. What is the ratio of the total surface areas of the smaller cubes and the large cube?

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

Volume of the large cube = (33+43+53) = 216 cu.cm. Let the edge of the large cube be a. So, a3= 216 =>a = 6 cm. Required ratio = 6(32+42+52)/6(62)=25/18
42 / 71
