Volume, a*a*a = 64 => a=4
Total Surface Area, Area of one side * Number of sides = a*a*6 = 96.
Option E.

Formula used: Volume of cube = $$a^3$$ | Total surface area of the cube = $$6*a^2$$

Given : a^3 = 64.
Taking cube root on both sides, a = 4

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is $$6*a^2 = 6*16 = 96$$(Option E)
