  2. B \( 0.03 x^{3} m^{3} \)
  3. C \( 0.06 x^{3} m^{3} \)
  4. D \( 0.04 x^{3} m^{3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 0.09 x^{3} m^{3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given sides of a cube \( x \mathrm{~m} \).
We know that, volume of cube is given by,
\( V=x^{3} \)
and \( \frac{d x}{x} \times 100=3 \)
Now, \( d V=3 x^{2} d x \)
\( d V=3 x^{2} d x \)
\( =3 x^{3} \frac{d x}{x}=3 x^{3} \times \frac{3}{100} \)
\( =0.09 x^{3} \)
