Solution

The correct option is A 8
In the figure there are 36 cubes 32 of which are of the same size and 4 others are of bigger size Clearly each side of bigger cubes is twice as large as that of smaller 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 face painted black and all other faces unpainted
The cubes having only one face painted are the 4 central cubes along each of the two surfaces painted blue Thus there are 4×2=8 such cubes
