    The side of a solid metallic cube is 50 cm. It is melted and recast into 8000 similar solid cubical dice. Find the side of each die.

    A)  2.5 cm                                 

    B)  6 cm

    C)  1.9cm                  

    D)         5.2cm

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The side of the given metallic cube = 50 cm Its volume\[~={{(50)}^{\text{3}}}\text{c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}=\text{125}000\text{ c}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\] Let\['x'\]cm be the side of a cubical die. Then volume of 8000 dice \[=8000\times {{(x)}^{3}}c{{m}^{3}}\] According to the problem, the volume of 8000 cubical dice = The volume of the given solid metallic cube \[\Rightarrow \]\[=8000\times {{(x)}^{3}}=125000\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\frac{5}{2}=2.5\] Hence, the side of the cubical die is 2.5 cm.
