What is the least number of cuts required to cut a cube into 100 identical pieces, assuming all cuts are made parallel to the faces of the cube?

1) 9
2) 10
3) 11
4) 13

• 100 = 2*2*5*5
  we can make 4-1 vertical cuts , 5-1 top cuts , 5-1 horizontal cuts i.e. 3 , 4 , 4
  these are the least number of cuts required = 3+4+4 = 11 cuts
