A solid metallic cube is melted to form five solid cubes whose volumes are in the ratio $1: 1 : 8: 27: 27$. The percentage by which the sum of the surface areas of these five cubes exceeds the surface area of the original cube is nearest to :

A man makes complete use of $405 \mathrm{cc}$ of iron, $783 \mathrm{cc}$ of aluminium, and $351 \mathrm{cc}$ of copper to make a number of solid right circular cylinders of each type of metal. These cylinders have the same volume and each of these has radius $3 \mathrm{~cm}$. If the total number of cylinders is to be kept at a minimum, then the total surface area of all these cylinders, in sq cm, is

If the rectangular faces of a brick have their diagonals in the ratio $3: 2 \sqrt{3}: \sqrt{15}$, then the ratio of the length of the shortest edge of the brick to that of its longest edge is
