maximun number of identical pieces(of same size) of a cake by making only 3 cuts?

• subratverma is correct... 8 pieces we can make...for the better understanding compare with a cube if u want...
  
  since cake is a 3D object, it will have length,breadth, height...
  first cut across length now we will get2 pieces
  then cut across breadth we will get 4 parts in total now...
  now cut across height, finally we will get 8 parts...

• 8 pieces...
  divide cake into two equel halves...in first cut..=2
  again put one over another and make second cut..=4
  and again put two pieces of cake over rest two pieces gives us total 8 pieces...:):)

• It depends on the type of cake........
  If the cake is unsymmetrical it is not possible..........

• If solwing in 3D manner then 8 is correct ans
  if solwing in 2d then also 7 pieses psbl
  
  First cut - 2 pieses
  Second Cut - it must cut first cut - 4 pieses
  Third Cut - it must cut first as well as Second cut - 7 pieses
  Thus 7 is correct ans
