Answer»

The dimensions of the cuboid are 100 cm × 80 cm × 64 cm. 

Therefore, the volume of the cuboid is V = l × b × h 

= 100 × 80 × 64 = 512000 cm3

Given that the cuboid is melted and recast into a cube. 

∴ The volume of the cube = the volume of the cuboid. 

∴ The volume of the cube = 512000 cm3

(a) If the edge of the cube is a then, the volume of the cube is given by = a3

Hence, option (ii) is correct. 

(b) Formula of finding volume of cuboid = l × b × ℎ. 

Hence, option (i) is correct. 

(c) Volume of cuboid is V = l ×b × ℎ. 

= 100 × 80 × 64 = 512000 cm3

Hence, option (i) is correct. 

(d) Volume of the cube = 512000 cm3

Hence, option (i) is correct. 

(e) Since, volume of the cube whose side length is a is given by a3

And volume of the cube is 512000 cm3

∴ a3 = 512000 = 83×103 = 803 

⇒ a = 80 cm. 

Hence, the side length of the cube is a = 80 cm. 

∴ Surface area of the cube = 6a2 = 6×802 = 38400 cm2

Hence, option (iii) is correct.

(a) (i) a3

(b) (i) l × b × h

(c) (i) 512000 cm3

(d) (i) 512000 cm3

(e) (iii) 38400 cm2
