1. A cube of side 12cm is painted with 3 colors, red, blue and green such that the opposite faces have the same color. It is then cut into 216 equal smaller cubes. What is the side of a smaller cube?
a) 3 cm
b) 2 cm
c) 8 cm
d) 6 cm
Answer
Explanation:
Volume of a smaller cube = (12*12*12)/216 = 8cm³
Side of a smaller cube = 2cm
2. The following questions are based on the information given below:
1. All the faces of cubes are painted with red color.
2. The cubes are cut into 64 equal small cubes.
I. How many small cubes have only one face coloured?
A. 4
B. 8
C. 16
D. 24
Answer
Explanation:
Number of small cubes having only one face coloured = (x – 2)2 x No. of faces
= (4 – 2)2 x 6
= 24 
II. How many small cubes have no faces coloured?
A. 24
B. 8
C. 16
D. 0
Answer
Explanation:
Number of small cubes having only one faces coloured = (x – 2)3
Here, x = side of big cube / side of small cube
x = 4 /1
x = 4
Required number = (4 -2)3
= 8 
III. How many small cubes are there whose three faces are coloured?
A. 4
B. 8
C. 16
D. 24
Answer
Explanation:
Number of small cubes having three faces coloured
= No. of corners = 8 
IV. How many small cubes are there whose two adjacent faces are coloured red?
A. 0
B. 8
C. 16
D.24
Answer
Explanation:
Number of small cubes having two adjacent faces coloured red
= (x – 2) x No. of edges
= (4 – 2) x 12
= 24
3. A cube is coloured orange on one face, pink on the opposite face , brown on one face and silver on a face adjacent to the brown face. The other two faces are left uncoloured. It is then cut into 125 smaller cubes of equal size. How many cubes have at least one face coloured pink?
A. 1
B. 9
C. 16
D. 25
Answer
Explanation:
Each face has n² = 25 cubes.
The 25 cubes on the pink face have atleast one face coloured pink.
4. A cube is cut in two equal parts along a plane parallel to one of its faces. One piece is then coloured red on the two larger faces and green on the remaining, while the other is coloured green on two smaller adjacent faces and red on the remaining. Each is then cut into 32 cubes of same size and mixed up.
