Two identical solid cubes of side 5 cm are joined end to end. Then the total surface area of the resulting cuboid is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2
  1. For a cuboid:
  • Total Surface Area = 2(lw+lh+wh)2(lw + lh + wh)

where ll is length, ww is width, and hh is height

  1. When two 55 cm cubes are joined end to end:
  • Length (ll) = 1010 cm
    • Width (ww) = 55 cm
    • Height (hh) = 55 cm
  1. Substituting in the formula:

= 2(10×5+10×5+5×5)2(10 × 5 + 10 × 5 + 5 × 5)

= 2(50+50+25)2(50 + 50 + 25)

= 2(125)2(125)

= 250250 cm²

Therefore, the total surface area of the cuboid is 250250 cm².
