    Three cubes whose edges are 3 cm, 4 cm and 5 cm respectively are melted without any loss of metal into a single cube. The edge of the new cube is ______.

    A)  6cm               

    B)         12cm 

    C)  9cm               

    D)         10cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let \[{{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}\], \[{{\text{V}}_{2}}\] and \[{{\text{V}}_{3}}\] be the volumes of the three cubes. Then\[{{V}_{1}}={{(3)}^{3}}=27\text{ }c{{m}^{3}},V={{(4)}^{3}}=64c{{m}^{3}}\] and \[{{V}_{3}}={{(5)}^{3}}=125c{{m}^{3}}\] \[\therefore \] Total volume \[=27+64+125=216\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\] Now, volume of new cube\[=216\text{ }c{{m}^{3}}\] \[\therefore \] Its edge \[=\sqrt[3]{216}=6cm\]
