    For minimum number of cuts we will get 50 from 2 x 5 x 5 and cuts is 1 + 4 + 4 = 9

    Correct Option: C

    Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
    Number of the cubes with 0 faces painted is (6 - 2)3 = 43 = 64

    Correct Option: A

    Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
    Number of the cubes with 0 faces painted is (6 - 2)3 = 43 = 64


  1. How many of the cubes have 2 most faces painted?

    Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
    Number of the cubes with 2 faces painted is 6(6 - 2)2
    = 6 x 16 = 96

    Correct Option: C

    Since total number of cubes is hence in the formula we will substitute n = 6
    Number of the cubes with 2 faces painted is 6(6 - 2)2
    = 6 x 16 = 96


  1. How many of the cubes have at most faces painted?

    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

    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


  1. How many of the cubes have at least 2 faces painted?

    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.

    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.
