    If the length of diagonal of a cube is \[\sqrt{12}\,cm,\]then the volume of the cube is

    A) \[8\sqrt{12}\,c{{m}^{3}}\]                   

    B) \[8\,c{{m}^{3}}\]        

    C)        \[16\sqrt{2}\,c{{m}^{3}}\]       

    D)        \[16\,c{{m}^{3}}\]                  

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let ?a? be the side of cube. Since length of diagonal \[\sqrt{12}\,cm\] \[\therefore \]\[\sqrt{{{a}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}+{{a}^{2}}}=\sqrt{12}\] Squaring both sides, we get \[3{{a}^{2}}=12\Rightarrow {{a}^{2}}=4\Rightarrow a=2\] \[\therefore \]Volume of the cube\[=2\times 2\times 2=8\,c{{m}^{3}}.\]
