It is given that the rate at which edge of cube increase  \left ( \frac{dx}{dt} \right )  = 3 cm/s
The volume of cube = x^{3} 
\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dx}.\frac{dx}{dt}             (By chain rule)
\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dx^{3}}{dx}.\frac{dx}{dt} = 3x^{2}.\frac{dx}{dt} = 3x^{2}\times 3 = 9x^{2} cm^{3}/s
It is given that the value of x is 10 cm 
So, 
      \frac{dV}{dt} = 9(10)^{2} = 9\times 100 = 900 \ cm^{3}/s
Hence, the rate at which the volume of the cube increasing when the edge is 10 cm long is  900 \ cm^{3}/s
