5.
How many small cubes are there whose at the most two faces are coloured ?
48
56
28
24
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Number of small cubes having two faces coloured = 8 + 8 + 4 + 4 = 24

and Number of small cubes having only one face coloured = 4 x 6 = 24

and Number of small cubes having no face coloured = 4 + 4 = 8

Therefore, total number of small cubes whose at the most two faces are coloured = 24 + 24 + 8 = 56.
