Given:

A metallic solid cuboid of dimensions 36 cm × 22 cm × 12 cm is melted and recast in the form of cubes of side 6 cm.

Formula used:

Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height

Volume of cube = side3

Number of cubes = Volume of cuboid / Volume of one cube

Calculation:

Volume of cuboid = 36 × 22 × 12

⇒ Volume of cuboid = 9504 cm3

Volume of one cube = 63

⇒ Volume of one cube = 216 cm3

Number of cubes = 9504 / 216

⇒ Number of cubes = 44

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
