Solution

The correct option is D 32
In the given statement, there are 36 cubes, 32 of which are of the same size and 4 other sure of bigger size. Clearly, each side of bigger cubes is twice as large as that of similar cubes. Also, since no face of any of the larger cubes is painted blue, so each one of the larger cubes has one face painted red, one is black and all other faces are unpainted.
Cubes having atleast one face painted blue are those which lie in between the two surfaces painted blue.
Since each blue surface has 16 cubes, so, there are 16×2=32 such cubes.
