If total number of cuts is 10 then find the maximum number of pieces that can be obtained.

If total number of cut is 10 then for maximum number of pieces these cuts have to be well distributed in three planes. For 10 cuts, 3,3 and 4 is the distribution of cuts.
Hence total number of pieces is
(3 + 3)(3 + 1)(4 + 1) = 4 x 4 5 = 80
