44
36 of the cubes have EXACTLY 2 of their sides painted black,
but because a cube with 3 of its sides
painted black has 2 of its sides painted black, you must
also include the corner cubes. This was a
trick question, but hopefully the title of the puzzle tipped
you off to this.

Answer / mridul
125 cubes means volume is 125...each side has 5*5 cubes...corner points are having 3 painted sides hence 8 corner points....and 40 side points with 2 painted surface...hence 48 cubes
