Let the length of one side of the cube be 'a'. The total surface area of the cube is given by:
Total surface area = 6a^2
We are given that the total surface area of the cube is 150, so we can write:
6a^2 = 150
Simplifying this equation, we get:
a^2 = 25
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
a = 5
Therefore, the length of each side of the cube is 5 cm. The volume of the cube is given by:
Volume = a^3 = 5^3 = 125 cubic cm
Hence, the volume of the cube is 125 cubic units, which is option (D).
