A solid cube of each side 8 cm, has been Painted red, blue and black on pairs of Opposite faces. It is then cut into cubical blocks of each side 2 cm. How many cubes have no face painted? Correct Answer 8

Given:

A solid cube of each side 8 cm

Calculation:

⇒ Cube has no face painted = Inner cubes (No colour)

⇒ The total number of cubes without any colour on any side = (n - 2)3

⇒ When n = 8/2 = 4 

⇒ The total number of cubes without any colour on any side = (4 - 2)3 = 23 = 8

∴ The required result will be 8.
