0. A cuboid is of dimensions 5 cm × 2 cm × 5 cm. How many such cuboids may be joined to form a cube?
- Option : D
- Explanation : (D) Given that, sides of a cuboid are 5cm, 2cm and 5cm.
Volume of cuboid = 5 × 2 × 5 = 50cm3
Let the side of the cube formed with minimum number of cuboids = x
Hence, volume of the cube = x3
Let, number of cuboids required = n
Hence, n × 50 = x3
n × 50 must be perfect cube i.e.
minimum value of n = 2 × 2 × 5 = 20
Volume of the cube formed = 20 × 50 = 1000 cm3
So, required cuboids = 20
