What is the volume of a certain cube?
(1) The sum of the areas of the faces of the cube is 54.
(2) The greatest possible distance between two points on the cube is 3(root[3])

IMO:D

if a = side of the cube
A) 6 * a * a = 54 ---> a = 3 --> Volume = a * a * a --> sufficient
B) Greatest possible distance = root(3) * a = root(3) * 3 ---> a = 3 --> sufficient

IMO D
