Correct Answer: 26 cubic units


Solution : The initial edge of the cube = 1 unit
Volume of the cube = 1 3 = 1 cubic unit
According to the question,
The new edge of the cube = 3 units
The new volume of the cube = 3 3 = 27 cubic units
$\therefore$ The increase in the volume = 27 – 1 = 26 cubic units
Hence, the correct answer is 26 cubic units.
