A metal sheet 27 cm long, 8 cm broad and 1 cm thick is melted into a cube. Find the difference between the surface areas (in cm²) of two solids.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Volume =27×8×1=216= 27 \times 8 \times 1 = 216 cm³, so the cube's edge is 66 cm and its surface area is 6×36=2166 \times 36 = 216 cm². The sheet's surface area is 2(27×8+8×1+27×1)=2(251)=5022(27 \times 8 + 8 \times 1 + 27 \times 1) = 2(251) = 502 cm². The difference is 502−216=286502 - 216 = 286 cm².
