  • Question
  • The difference in volumes of two cubes is 152 m 3 and the difference in their one face areas is 20 m 2. If the sum of their edge is 10 m, the product of their edge is?


  • Options
  • A. 21
  • B. 24
  • C. 36
  • D. 48

  • Correct Answer
  • 24 

    Explanation

    Let the edges of the two cubes be x and y metres
    Then, x3 - y3 = 152
    and x2 - y2 = 20
    Also, x + y = 10
    So, x - y = (x2 - y2) / (x + y) = 20/10 = 2
    Now, (x3 - y3) / (x - y) = 152/2
    ? x2 + y2 + xy = 76
    ? (x + y)2 - xy = 76
    ? xy = (x + y)2 - 76 = (10)2 - 76 = 24
