Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Total surface area of cube = 6s\(^2\)

6s\(^2\) = x

s\(^2\) = x = \(\frac{x}{6}\).....(1)

volume of a cube = s\(^2\) = \(\frac{x}{2}\)

s\(^2\) = \(\frac{x}{2}\)......(2)

put(1) into (2)

s(\(\frac{x}{6}\)) = \(\frac{x}{2}\)

s = \(\frac{x}{2} \times \frac{6}{x}\)

= 3cm
