How to solve this

Answer Posted / lalitha

we have a simple formula to find all these

no of cubes unpainted will be (n-2)^3
no of cubes painted one side is 6(n-2)^2
no of cubes painted on two sides 12(n-2)
no of cubes painted three sides is always 8
for a complete cube

n denotes the cube dimension
eg n=4 here(since dimension is 4*4*4)
