    A 4 cm cube is cut into 1 cm cubes. What is the ratio of surface area of small cubes to that of the last cube?

    A) 4 : 1     

    B)  4 : 3

    C)  1 : 4    

    D)  2 : 3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Number of small cubes \[=\frac{\text{Volume}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{large}\,\,\text{cube}}{\text{Volume}\,\,\text{of}\,\,\text{a}\,\,\text{small}\,\,\text{cube}}\text{=}\frac{{{(4)}^{3}}}{{{1}^{3}}}=64\] Total surface area of the large cube\[=6{{(4)}^{2}}=96\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\] Total surface area of 1 small cube \[=6{{(1)}^{2}}=6\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\] Total surface area of 64 small cubes \[=64\times 6=384\,\,\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] Required ratio = 384 : 96 or 4 : 1
