Correct Answer: 250 cm 2


Solution : Let the side of the cube be a.
Volume of each cube = 125 cm 3
⇒ a 3 = 125
$\therefore$ a = 5 cm
So, the edge of each cube = 5 cm
For new cuboid formed length(l) = 5 + 5 = 10 cm
breadth(b) = 5 cm
height(h) = 5 cm
$\therefore$ Surface area of the resulting cuboid
= 2 (lb + bh + lh)
= 2 (10 × 5 + 5 × 5 + 10 × 5) cm 2
= 250 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is 250 cm 2 .
