LR - Cubes - Previous Year CAT/MBA Questions

Answer: Option B

Explanation :

Since each side of the smaller cube is 3 cm, it can be figured out that each face of the original cube is divided into 4 parts, or in other words, the original cube is divided into 64 smaller cubes. For a smaller cube to have none of its sides painted, it should not be a part of the face of the original cube (i.e. none of its faces should be exposed).

We can find at the centre of the original cube there are (2 × 2 × 2) = 8 such cubes.

​​​​​​​Students please note that the answer can only be a cube of some integer. The only cube among the answer choices is (2)³ = 8.
