MCQ
A cube whose volume is $\frac{1}{8}$ cubic centimeter is placed on top of a cube whose volume is $1\ cm^3$. The two cubes are then placed on top of a third cube whose volume is $8\ cm^3$. The height of the stacked cubes is:
  • A
    None of these
  • B
    $3\ cm$
  • $3.5\ cm$
  • D
    $7\ cm$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$3.5\ cm$

Let $a, b, c.$ be the sides of three cubes
Then $a^3 =\frac{1}{8}\Rightarrow\text{a}=\frac{1}{2}$
$b^3= 1 ⇒ b = 1$
$c^3 = 8 ⇒ c = 2,$
Now height of resulting cube
$0.5 + 1 + 2 = 3.5\ cm$
