  • D54

Step-by-Step Solution

The right-hand group 304 ends in 4, and is the only cube ending in 4, so the units digit of the root is 4. The left-hand group is 39, and , so the tens digit is the SMALLER bracketing number, 3. The root is 34 (check: ). Choosing 44 takes the larger bracket by mistake.
Answer: B) 34

Key idea: Cube root by prime factorisation

**Step 1**: factorise into primes.
**Step 2**: group the prime factors into TRIPLES (three of the same).
**Step 3**: take ONE factor from each triple — their product is the cube root.

Example: ∛216. . So ∛216 = 6.

Example: ∛13824. . So ∛13824 = 24.

If any prime doesn't form a complete triple, the number isn't a perfect cube.
