Volume of one such cube = \(\frac { 12x12x12 }{ 8 }\) cm3 = 216 cm3
Edge of the new cube = 3√216 cm3 = 6 cm
Surface area of one big cube of side/edge 12 cm = 6 x (12 cm)2 = (6 x 144) cm2
Also surface area of one smaller cube = 6 x (6 cm)2 = (6 x 36) cm2
Required ratio = \(\frac { 6 x 144 }{ 6 x 36 }\) = 4 : 1.

Question 10.
A water tank is 1 m long, 85 cm wide and 60 cm deep. If the measurement of (RBSESolutions.com) a tin is 25 cm x 25 cm x 34 cm, then find how many tins of water will be contained in it.
Solution.
Length of water tank = 1 m = 100 cm
Breadth of water tank = 85 cm
and height/ depth = 60 cm
Volume of water tank = (100 x 85 x 60) cm3
Similarly, volume of one tin = (25 x 25 x 34) cm3
Number of tins = \(\frac { Volume of water tank }{ Volume ol one tin }\)
= \(\frac { 100 x 85 x 60 }{ 25 x 25 x 34 }\)
= 24 tins

Question 11.
The sum of length, breadth and height of a cuboid is 19 cm and the length (RBSESolutions.com) of its diagonal is 11 cm. Find the surface area of the cuboid.
Solution.
Let length, breadth and height of the cuboid be l, b and h respectively, then
l + b + h = 19 …(i)
and diagonal = 11
⇒ \(\sqrt { { l }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 }+{ h }^{ 2 } }\) = 11
⇒ l2 + b2 + h2 = 121 …(ii)
Using (i), l + b + h = 19
Squaring both sides, we have
(l + b + h)2 = 192
l2 + b2 + h2 + 2 (lb + bh + hl) = 361
121 + 2 (lb + bh + hl) = 361
2 (lb + bh + hl) = 361 – 121
⇒ 2 (lb + bh + hl) = 240
Hence, the surface area of the cuboid is 240 cm2.

Question 12.
How many cassettes of size 11 cm x 7 cm x 1.5 cm can be (RBSESolutions.com) put inside the box of size 35 cm long, 22 cm wide and 6 cm high.

Here volume of box = l x b x h = (35 x 22 x 6) cm3
Now, volume of one cassettes = l x b x h = (11 x 7 x 1.5) cm3
Required number of cassettes = \(\frac { Volume of box }{ Volume of one cassette }\)
= \(\frac { 35 x 22 x 6 }{ 11x7x1.5 }\)
Hence, required number of cassette = 40.
