                                  Directions to Solve
                   
                                    The following questions are based on the information given below:
- There is a cuboid whose dimensions are 4 x 3 x 3 cm.
 - The opposite faces of dimensions 4 x 3 are coloured yellow.
 - The opposite faces of other dimensions 4 x 3 are coloured red.
 - The opposite faces of dimensions 3 x 3 are coloured green.
 - Now the cuboid is cut into small cubes of side 1 cm.
 
1.
How many small cubes will have only two faces coloured ?
 
                                    Answer: Option
                                                    Explanation:
                                                
Number of small cubes having only two faces coloured = 6 from the front + 6 from the back + 2 from the left + 2 from the right
= 16

                2 cubes of green yellow face and 4 cubes of yellow red face.

                Is the formula given by @Shekhar applicable for any cuboid to find cubes with two side painted?

                Its the right explanation. If you go through it practically you would surely get it right.

                What is the reason of multiply by 4?

                I think so 4 from left and 4 from right. 4 cubes have two face colored.

                I too had problems on left and right side cubes. @Aadharsdha, do you find it?

                In my point of the view, 12 is the answer.

                Since there are 12 edged in the cube front face have 2 faces such as 2 sides painted so total 2*4 (edges of 2 sides painted), similarly when you go by height 1*4, and same breadth 1*4.
So, total (2*4 + 1*4 + 1*4) = 16.
                So, total (2*4 + 1*4 + 1*4) = 16.
