Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFA cube of side 18 cm is painted yellow on all the faces and then cut into smaller cubes of sides 3 cm each.
Cube is divided into 18/3 = 6 equal parts, hence n = 6.
Number of cubes with 2 sides painted = 12 (n - 2)
= 12 (6 - 2)
= 12 × 4
= 48
Hence, '48' is the correct answer.
