A hollow cube of size 5 cm is taken, with a thickness of 1 cm. It is made of smaller cubes of size 1 cm. If 1 face of the outer surface of the cube are painted, totally how many faces of the smaller cubes remain unpainted?
a) 900 b) 488 c) 563 d) 800
Ans: Total cubes to form hollow cube ?
If it is cube it contains how many cubes =5^3=125
How many number of small cubes required to form a hollow cube= 125-3^3=98
Total number of faces in small cubes=98*6=588
number of painted faces=5*5=25
Number of unpainted faces=588-25=563
Comments
Total faces =98*6= 588
No of faces painted =5*5= 25
Unpainted surface =588 -25 =563
