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 least 2 faces painted?
-
- 104
- 144
- 120
- None of these
Correct Option: B
Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
At least 2 faces painted means number of cubes with 2 face painted + number of cubes with 3 face painted = 96 + 8 = 104.
