Parikshit makes a cuboid of plasticine of sides \(5\) \(cm\), \(2\) \(cm\), \(5\) \(cm.\) How many such cuboids will he need to form a cube?
Solution and Explanation
Given numbers = \(5 × 2 × 5\)
Since, Factors of \(5\) and \(2\) both are not in group of three.
Therefore, the number must be multiplied by \(2 × 5 × 2= 20\) to make it a perfect cube.
Hence he needs \(20\) cuboids.
