The correct answer is: 107

Surface area of cube of edge length 1cm =(6×1)cm2.

Surface area of cube of edge length (1×10−7)cm=(6×10−14)cm2

Let n cubes of 6×10−14cm2 are present on dividing the cube of 6cm2

∴n× volume of cube of edge length 10−7cm=  Volume of cube of edge length 1cm.

n×[107] 3=(1)3

∴n=1021

∴ New total surface area =1021×6×1014=6×107cm2

Hence, the ratio of total surface area of all the cubes of 1 nmedge length to the surface area of the initial cube is=6×1076=107
