Given:

Length of cuboid = 81 cm

Breadth of cuboid = 27 cm

Height of cuboid = 9 cm

Total number of smaller cubes = 729

Formula used:

Volume of cuboid = Volume of all smaller cubes

Volume of one cube = Edge3

Calculation:

Volume of cuboid = Length × Breadth × Height

⇒ Volume of cuboid = 81 × 27 × 9 = 19683 cm3

Volume of one cube = Volume of cuboid / Total number of cubes

⇒ Volume of one cube = 19683 / 729 = 27 cm3

Edge3 = Volume of one cube

⇒ Edge3 = 27

⇒ Edge = 3 cm

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
