Answer

It is given that the dimensions of a solid metallic cuboid are 9 cm x 8 cm x 3 cm.

The metallic cuboid is melted and recast into a cube i.e., the volume of both shapes remains the same.

Let s be the side of the cube.

Volume of cuboid = Volume of cube

⇒ l x b x h = side3

⇒ s3 = 9 x 8 x 3 cm3

⇒ s3 = 216 cm3

⇒ s = 2163\sqrt[3]{216} cm

⇒ s = 6 cm

The edge of the cube formed is 6 cm.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
