Answer

Let the side of the first cube be a units and volume be V cubic units.

We know that,

Surface area of the cube = 6a2

⇒ S = 6a2

⇒ a2 = S6\dfrac{S}{6}

⇒ a = S6\sqrt{\dfrac{S}{6}}

Calculating the volume of first cube,

Volume of cube (V) = a3

Substituting the value of a, we get,

V = (S6)3\Big(\sqrt{\dfrac{S}{6}}\Big)^3

V = (S6)32\Big(\dfrac{S}{6}\Big)^\dfrac{3}{2} …….(1)

Let the side of second cube be b units and volume be V' cubic units.

Surface area = 6b2

⇒ 2S = 6b2

⇒ S = 3b2

⇒ b2 = S3\dfrac{S}{3}

⇒ b = S3\sqrt{\dfrac{S}{3}}

Volume of second cube (V') = b3

Substituting the value of b, we get

V' = (S3)3\Big(\sqrt{\dfrac{S}{3}}\Big)^3

V' = (S3)32\Big(\dfrac{S}{3}\Big)^\dfrac{3}{2}…….(2)

Taking the ratio of equation (1) and (2) we get,

VV=(S6)32(S3)32VV=(S6S3)32VV=(36)32VV=(12)32VV=122V=22V\Rightarrow \dfrac{V}{V'} = \dfrac{\Big(\dfrac{S}{6}\Big)^\dfrac{3}{2}}{\Big(\dfrac{S}{3}\Big)^\dfrac{3}{2}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{V}{V'} = \Big(\dfrac{\dfrac{S}{6}}{\dfrac{S}{3}}\Big)^{\dfrac{3}{2}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{V}{V'} = \Big(\dfrac{3}{6}\Big)^\dfrac{3}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{V}{V'} = \Big(\dfrac{1}{2}\Big)^\dfrac{3}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{V}{V'} = \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow V' = 2 \sqrt{2}V

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
