Correct Answer: 294


Solution : Length of edges of cubes = 4 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm.
Volume of the cube = a3
Volume of all three cubes = 43 + 53 + 63
= 64 + 125 + 216
= 405 cm3
Volume of all three cubes = Volume of the new cube + Volume of the melted material lost
⇒ Volume of new cube = 405 – 62 = 343 cm3
⇒ Side of new cube = $\sqrt[3]{343}$ = 7 cm
So, the total surface area of the cube = 6a2
= 6 × 7 × 7
= 294 cm2
Hence, the correct answer is 294.
