Direction: 216 cubes of similar size are arranged in the form of the bigger cube (6 cubes on each side, i.e.., 6 x 6 x 6) all the exposed surfaces are painted.
-
How many of the cubes have at most faces painted?
-
- 208
- 144
- 210
- None of these
Correct Option: A
Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
At most 2 faces painted means number of cubes with 0 face painted + number of cubes with 1 face painted + number of cubes with 2 face painted = 64 + 48 + 96 = 208
