Question

Identify the number of cubes in the given figure.

• A. 6
• B. 7
• C. 8
• D. 9

Answer 1

The correct option is C 8

The total number of layers of cubes is 4.
Total number of cubes in the top layer = 1
Total number of cubes in the second layer = 1
Total number of cubes in the third layer = 2
Total number of cubes in the lower layer = 4 (1 is hidden)
So total number of cubes
= 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 8.
