Cubes and

Dices
1. A cube is painted on all six faces and
then cut into 64 smaller equal cubes.
How many of these smaller cubes will
have exactly two faces painted?

A) 8 B) 12 C) 24 D) 36
Answer: C) 24

Explanation:
• Number of cubes with two faces
painted = 12 × (n - 2)
• Here, n = 4 (since 4³ = 64), so 12 × (4 - 2)
= 24.
2. In a standard die, the number on the face opposite to 2
is 5. Which of the following can be true for opposite pairs
in the same die?

A) 1–6, 2–5, 3–4 B) 1–5, 2–6, 3–4 C) 1–2, 3–4, 5–6 D) 1–3, 2–4, 5–6
Answer: A) 1–6, 2–5, 3–4

• Explanation:
• In a standard die, opposite faces sum to 7. Only option A satisfies this.
3. A cube is painted red on two opposite faces,
blue on another two opposite faces, and green on
the remaining two opposite faces. It is then cut
into 64 smaller cubes. How many of these smaller
cubes will have three faces painted?

A) 8 B) 6 C) 12 D) 16

Answer: A) 8

Explanation:
• Only the 8 corner cubes have three
faces painted.
4. If a die is rolled twice, what is the probability
that the sum of the two numbers is 7?

A) 1/6 B) 1/12 C) 5/36 D) 1/9


Answer: A) 1/6

Explanation:
• Favorable outcomes for sum = 7 are 6. Total outcomes = 36. So, probability
= 6/36 = 1/6.
5. A cube has all its faces painted and is
then cut into 216 smaller cubes of equal
size. How many of these smaller cubes
will have no face painted?

A) 8 B) 64 C) 27 D) 100
Answer: B) 64

Explanation:
• Unpainted cubes = (n - 2)³. Here, n = 6
→ (6 - 2)³ = 64.
