How many small cubes, each of 96 cm surface area, can be formed from the material obtained by melting a larger cube of 384 cm surface area ?
A. 5
B. 8
C. 800
D. 8000
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the length of each edge of small cube be a1 and that of larger cube be a2Then,
$$\eqalign{ & 6a_1^2 = 96\, \cr & \Rightarrow a_1^2 = 16 \cr & \Rightarrow {a_1} = 4\,and \cr & 6a_2^2 = 384 \cr & \Rightarrow a_2^2 = 64 \cr & \Rightarrow {a_2} = 8 \cr} $$
∴ Number of cubes formed :
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{{\text{Volume of larger cube}}}}{{{\text{Volume of smaller cube}}}} \cr & = \left( {\frac{{8 \times 8 \times 8}}{{4 \times 4 \times 4}}} \right) \cr & = 8 \cr} $$
