Given:

The sides of the three cubes of metal are 15 cm, 18 cm and 25 cm, respectively.

Concept used:

Volume of a cube = side3

If we melt three cubes and make a single big cube then the volume will be the same

Calculation:

As per the question,

The volume of the bigger cube is 

⇒ 153 + 183 + 253 

The side of the bigger cube is 

 3(153 + 183 + 253 )

\(4\sqrt[3]{388}\)

  ∴ The correct option is 4
