Small cube has a volume of 25 cm^3. That means the edge of the small cube is 5 cm long.
4 cubes make up the length of the larger cube. This implies the edge of the larger cube is 20 cm.
Volume = 8000cm^3

Given, Volume of each of the smaller cubes=125 cc
So, Side of a smaller cube=5cm
Side of larger cube=4*side of smaller cube=4*5=20cm
Hence, volume of larger cube=$$(20)^3=8000$$

Ans. (D)

Volume of smaller cube is 125, so its sides must be 5

Length of the large cube must be 20

Volume of the large cube must be 20^3 = 8000, Answer must be (D)

If the larger cube has four smaller cubes as one of its lengths, then it has 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 smaller cubes. Since each smaller cube has a volume of 125 cubic centimeters, the volume of the larger cube is 64 x 125 = 8,000 cubic centimeters.

Alternate Solution:

Since each small cube has a volume of 125 cubic centimeters, the side of each small cube is 5 centimeters. The large cube has a length that is equal to 4 times the length of a small cube, so its length is 20 centimeters. Thus, the volume of the large cube is 20 x 20 x 20 = 8,000 cubic centimeters.
