Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven:
Side of a large cube = 12 cm
Size of 1st small cube = 6 cm
Size of 2nd small cube = 8 cm
Concept used:
Volume of large cube = total volume of small cubes
Formula used:
Volume of cube = (side)3
Calculation:
Let the side of 3rd cube = x
Volume of large cube = total volume of three cubes
⇒ (12)3 = (6)3 + (8)3 + (x)3
⇒ 1728 = 216 + 512 + x3
⇒ x3 = 1728 - 728
⇒ x = 3√1000 = 10 cm
∴ The correct answer is 10 cm.
