  • Question
  • Three cubes with sides in the ration 3 : 4 : 5 are melted to form a single cube whose diagonal is 12? 3 cm. The sides of the cubes are?


  • Options
  • A. 6 cm, 8 cm , 10 cm
  • B. 3 cm, 4 cm , 5 cm
  • C. 9 cm, 12 cm , 15 cm
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • 6 cm, 8 cm , 10 cm 

    Explanation

    Let the side of the cube be 3k, 4k and 5k, respectively.
    So, volumes of these cubes are 27 k3, 64k3, 125 k3 respectively.
    ? Volume of the new bigger cube = 27 k3 + 64k3 + 125 k3
    = 216k3
    So, side of the new cube = 6k
    Since, diagonal of the cube = ?(6k)2 + (6k)2 + (6k)2
    = 12?3
    ? 108k2 = 432
    ?k = 2
    So, sides of the three cubes were 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm respectively.
