The minimum number of cuts required to cut a big cube into 480 identical pieces is n. What is the maximum number of identical pieces that can be cut from the big cube with n cuts?
a) 480
b) 512
c) 492
d) 576

Read Solution (Total 1)

480 = 8*6*10
which means 7,5,9 cuts on 3 axises...
if we have to maximize it then we have to make 7 cuts on each axis..
that so total no. of cubes = 8*8*8=512
