Correct Answer: 1176


Solution : Given: Side of cube = 9 cm
Cuboid length = 5 cm
Breadth = 13 cm
Height = 31 cm
Volume of cube = $\text{side}^3$ = $9^3$ = 729 cm 3
Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height = 5 × 13 × 31 = 2015 cm 3
The volume of recast single cube
= Volume of solid metallic cube + Volume of solid metallic cuboid
= 729 + 2015
= 2744 cm 3
Side of Recast cube:
$\text{side}^3$ = 2744
⇒ side = 14 cm
Total surface area of cube = 6 × $\text{side}^2$ = 6 × 14 × 14 = 1176 cm 2
Hence, the correct answer is  1176.
