A metal cube of edge 12 cm is melted and formed into three smaller cubes. If the edges of two smaller cubes are 6 cm and 8 cm, the edge of the third smaller cube is?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Volume is conserved on melting.

123=63+83+a312^3=6^3+8^3+a^3

1728=216+512+a31728=216+512+a^3

a3=1000a^3=1000, so a=10a=10 cm.
