  • Question
  • 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?


  • Options
  • A. 2 : 1
  • B. 3 : 2
  • C. 25 : 18
  • D. 27 : 20

  • Correct Answer
  • 25 : 18 

    Explanation

    Volume of the large cube = 3 3 + 4 3 + 5 3  = 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
