@Neeraj consider cubes with only Black and Green color. I don't find the word "only". Read question carefully How many cubes will remain if the cubes having black and green coloured are removed?

Correct answer: 16.

Well, its given cubes having black and green, but it's not mentioned that it cannot have a red color, so the cubes that have black and green both colour are the cubes present in the left and right corners, which sum up to 8.

Thus remaining 16 cubes are left.

So, the answer is 16.
