    Question

    If three cubes whose edges measure 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm respectively, are melted to form a single cube, then find the edge of the new cube.

    A.

    4 cm

    B.

    7 cm

    C.

    6 cm

    D.

    5 cm

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    Sides of cubes =  3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm

    Formula used:

    Volume of cube = a3

    where, a = side of cube

    Solution:

    Volume of single cube = Total volume of three cubes

     a3 = x3 + y3 + z3

     a3 = 33 + 43 + 53

     a3 = 27 + 64 + 125

     a3 = 216

     a = 6 cm

    Then, 

    The edge of final cube is 6 cm.
