Solution

The correct option is B 28
Two adjacent surfaces have been painted red and if cut these surface into 1 cm length then we would get many small cube of side 1 cm, and so one surface of big cube will form 44=16 surfaces of small cube.
Now as per given statement in question, "
two adjacent surfaces have been painted red" That means adjacent surface will also form 44=16 small cube with red paint.
So total cube of red colour might be 16+16=32 .
But the four cubes are common in both the red colour surfaces.
Thus, total cubes having at least red colour on its surfaces will be 324=28.
Hence, Option "C" is correct answer.
