How many cubes of side 4 cm can be formed by melting a solid metallic cuboid of length 12 cm, breadth 8 cm and height 8 cm?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 12
Side of cube = 4 cm
Length of cuboid = 12 cm
Breadth of cuboid = 8 cm
Height of the cuboid = 8 cm
Volume of cube = side3 = 43 = 64
Volume of the cuboid = length × breadth × height = 12 × 8 × 8 = 768
According to the question -
Number of cubes = Volume of the cuboid/Volume of cube = 768/64 = 12
