Option 3 : 1 : 2

We know that, volume of a cube = (side)3

∴ Volume of larger cube = 33 = 27 unit3

And, volume of one smaller cube = 13 = 1 unit3

Number of smaller cubes used = Volume of larger cube/Volume of one smaller cube

∴ Number of smaller cubes used = 27/1 = 27

We know that, a cube has 6 faces.

∴ Total number of faces of all smaller cubes = 6 × 27 = 162

Number of faces of smaller cubes visible on one face of larger cuve = 9

∴ Total number of visible faces of smaller cubes = 9 × 6 = 54

∴ Total number of faces that are not visible = 162 – 54 = 108

∴ required ratio = 54 : 108 = 1 : 2

Statement: Should teachers be held responsible for the failure of students Arguments: Yes. It is the job of the teachers to see that every student passes.
