A large cube is formed from the material obtained by melting three smaller cubes of 3, 4 and 5 cm side.
Question 1:
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?
A.2 : 1
B.3 : 1
C.25 : 18
FeedbackVolume of the large cube = (33+43+53) = 216 cu.cm. Let the edge of the large cube be a. So, a^3= 216 =>a = 6 cm. Required ratio = 6(3^2+4^2+5^2)/6(6^2)=25/18
D.27 : 20
