Read the following information and answer questions given below it:
I. There is a rectangular wooden block of length 4 centimetres, height 3 centimetres and breadth 3 centimeter
II. The two opposite surfaces of 4 centimetres x 3 centimetres are painted yellow on the outside
III. The other two opposite surfaces of the 4 centimetres x 3 centimetres block are painted red on the outside
IV. The remaining two surfaces of the 3 centimetres x 3 centimetres block are painted green on the outside
V. Now, the block is cut in such a way that cubes of 1 centimetre x1 centimetre x 1 centimetre are created
How many cubes will have exactly two colours?
16
Loosely speaking, such cubes are middle cubes with one edge coinciding with an edge of the larger cube. There would be 8+4+4=16 such cubes. Hence (c).
