explanatory answer when a 5 cc cube is sliced into 1 cc cubes , we will get 5 * 5 * 5 = 125 cubes of 1 cubic centimeter . in each side of the larger cube , the smaller cubes on the edges will have more than one of their sides painted . therefore , the cubes which are not on the edge of the larger cube and that lie on the facing sides of the larger cube will have exactly one side painted . in each face of the larger cube , there will be 5 * 5 = 25 cubes . of these , the cubes on the outer rows will be on the edge . 16 such cubes exist on each face . if we count out the two outer rows on either side of a face of the cube , we will be left with 3 * 3 = 9 cubes which are not on the edge in each face of the cube . therefore , there will be 9 cubes of 1 - cc volume per face that will have exactly one of their sides painted . in total , there will be 9 * 6 = 54 such cubes . choice d is the correct answer .

relative speed = ( 108 - 36 ) * 5 / 18 = 4 * 5 = 20 mps . distance covered in 17 sec = 17 * 20 = 340 m . the length of the faster train = 340 m . answer : b
a = 108 - 36 b = a / const_3_6 c = b * 17

divide(500, multiply(const_0_2778, subtract(63, 3)))
how many seconds will a 500 metre long train take to cross a man walking with a speed of 3 km / hr in the direction of the moving train if the speed of the train is 63 km / hr ?
"solution speed of train relative to man = ( 63 - 3 ) km / hr = 60 km / hr = ( 60 x 5 / 18 ) m / sec = 50 / 3 m / sec time taken to pass the man = ( 500 x 3 / 50 ) sec = 30 sec answer b"
a = 63 - 3 b = const_0_2778 * a c = 500 / b
