Correct Answer: 11,760


Solution : Volume of the cube = (side) 3 = 9$^3$ = 729 cm 3
Volume of the cuboid = 5 × 13 × 31 = 2015 cm 3
Volume of the single cube = volume of cube + volume of cuboid = 729 + 2015 = 2744 cm 3
Side of Recast cube ⇒ Side 3 = 2744
⇒ Side = 14 cm
So the total surface area of the cube
= 6 × 14 × 14
= 1176 cm 2
Cost of painting at Rs. 10 per cm 2 = 10 × 1176 = Rs. 11760
Hence, the correct answer is 11760.
