Correct Answer: $4 \sqrt[3]{388}$
Solution : Let the side of the new cube be $a\text{ cm}$. Volume of 1st cube, $V{_1} = 15^3 = 3375\text{ cm}^3$ Volume of 2nd cube, $V{_2} = 18^3 =5832 \text{ cm}^3$ Volume of 3rd cube, $V{_3} = 25^3 = 15625\text{ cm}^3$ $\therefore$ Volume of new cube, $a^3= V{_1}+V{_2}+V{_3}$ $⇒a^3 = 3375+5832+15625 = 24832\text{ cm}^3$ $\therefore a = \sqrt[3]{24832} =4\sqrt[3]{388}\text{ cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is $4\sqrt[3]{388}$.
