The volume of a cuboid is twice the volume of a cube. If the dimensions of total cuboid are 9 cm, 8 cm and 6 cm, then total surface area of the cube will be ?

1. 213 sq cm
2. 216 sq cm
3. 218 sq cm
4. 219 sq cm

Correct Option: B

Volume of the cuboid = 9 x 8 x 6 = 432 cm³
Volume of the cube = 1/2 x 432 = 216 cm³
∴ Each side of cube = ∛216 = 6 cm
Total surface area of the cube = 6 x (Side)² = 6 x 6²
= 6 x 36 = 216 sq cm
