BANKING WIZARD BY PANKAJ GAUTAM

CHAPTER:1 (PUZZLES/ANALYTICAL REASONING)The first two chapters, that is, puzzle and sitting arrangement deals with evaluation of the given facts and data. Following points should be helpful in proceeding for such questions:

The description as well as the questions should be read once carefully before moving

further. Jot down all the names which you have found in the questions at different points. If stuck at a point then at times there are clues given in the question which are very

helpful. Write down all the probable possibilities and then keep striking it off as and when

you get the additional information. The statement which alone gives a particular position/information etc are definitive

statement others are derived i.e you need combination of 2 or more statements to solve.

In sitting arrangement try finding the ends or corner position first and then proceed further.

In a circle there is no beginning or end position. Apply process of elimination, process of selection and process of ‘test the rule’. Differentiate between immediate right and right and immediate left and left. Differentiate between first and second person. (eg a is to the left of e, who is to the

right of c meaning that e is to right of c) A person to the left of one person that means the other person is to the right of that

person and vice versa. (eg if a is to the left of b then b has to be on the right of a, unless they are facing in different directions.)

Draw all possible arrangements, at times there can be more than 1 arrangement. Don’t ponder too much on solving that part of puzzle which is not needed to answer

the questions. Understand the difference between opposite and diagonally opposite, and also

understand the concept of opposite depending upon the no of sides of the figure/ arrangements whether rectangular, pentagon hexagon etc.[(n÷2]-1)] n has to be even.

See the answer choices carefully and then answer there could be several correct answers like a could be in the middle but at the same time to the left of d or right of e or in that case between d and e , so mark your answer as per the choice given.

2. Reverse approach : this means that if you are moving say to purchase something from the mall from your house first you walked 5m turned left walked a 25m distance then you again turned left walked 160m distance the you turned right and walked 400m distance and reached the mall then while returning the directions would be reversed ie walk 400m then turn left walk 160m then turn right walk 25m and turn right finally walk 5m and you will reach your house.

3. Face to face : say x and y are standing facing each other face to face and y is facing north. This means that y is standing in south and since x is face to face hence x is facing south and is standing in the north.

4. At the time of sunrise sun rises in the east and shadow falls on the west. Illustration: Say at the time of sunrise ram shadow fell on the right of shyam, then in which direction is shyam facing?

1. If the same entity is say 20th from left and 30th from right, then to find the total add the two and then subtract 1 [(20+30)-1=49]

2. Between the two (difference -1) [(30-20)-1 =9]3. If total given and position from left given then [(total-left)+1] = position from right, and

vice versa.4. In 26 letters say if a letter is 20th from the left that means it is 7th from the right(26-

20)+1, similarly if 3rd from the left then it is 24th from right (26-3)+1. 2ND from right means 25th from left. (26-2)+1.

5. The same rule applies while finding a no of students , children and other such question. Eg: in a class of 37 students ram is 18th from the top then what is his position from the bottom (37-18)+1= 20.

6. If total entity given and position of one from left and other from right is given then to find the entities between two is = (position from left + position from right)-- (total entities + 2)

7. In English Alphabets If middle between 10th from left and 7th from right is asked convert all to left (7th from right is 20th from left) 10+20/2 =15 which is O.

8. Four cases: a.) Case1: x to the left of y from left= y-x from left.b.) Case 2: x to the right of y from left= x +y from left.c.) Case 3: x to the right of y from the right= y-x from the right.d.) Case 4: x to the left of y from the right = x +y from the right.



9. When something is called with the different name. solve it normally and then check its name in the instruction; same approach is to be applied in the questions where places of the entities are to be interchanged.

10. When middle digit/alphabets, etc is to be found between two variables then exclude both the variables and count the entity between the two and then apply average formula.

11. In coding decoding if the question and answers contain same set of entities but at different place then code it as per their place value in the arrangements.

12. In coding decoding if the question and answers contain different entities then code it as per their value in the original English alphabets.

13. In questions where it is asked that how many such pairs exist where between the two alphabets there are as many letters as in the English alphabet, check each letter individually as they are in the original alphabets like mno or jkl . first from the left side and then in the reverse ie from the right side.

14. In less than, greater than, equal to, etc question solve by using column matrix . up, center and below. If greater than, then place it in the upper column if less than, then place it in the lower column, if equal to, then place it in the center column ie right/left.

15. In question where there are 2 or more variables considered say, how many such symbol which are followed by number and preceded by consonant that means effectively you are required to find this series: csn where; c is a consonant, s is a symbol and n is a number. Look for symbol (middle thing) and then check the condition on the either side.

16. If one half of the alphabets or such groups are to be written in reverse order and the question is based on it then there may be chances that the final entity which is being asked might not be a part of that group(which has been asked to reverse) so read the question carefully and don’t waste the time in reversing; eg: in no from 1-10; last three has to be written in reverse order then which will be 4th from left? Since last 3 has to be reversed and we have find the 4th which will be 4 in any case hence what is the point in reversing similarly in the same example if every alternate digit is dropped then which will be 3rd solve ignoring the alternate digit as if they don’t exist like 1 3 5(which is the 3 rd

one).

CHAPTER 5:INPUT OUTPUT.It is a two srep process:

Step1→ look at the last step, this will give you the ultimate solution.

Step2→ now look at the other steps these will give you the processes.

In such question you have to identify the rules/logic/principle on which the inputs are arranged and accordingly answer. Two pieces of advice: as a thumb rule you can keep it in your mind that from any given steps of any alphabetical arrangements or arrangements based on ascending or descending order of numbers; any previous steps cannot be determined in an input output questions. To save time rather than writing the whole word you can simply writes what ever will serve you purpose for example in alphabetical arrangements inputs rather than writing, “elephant has a battle with lion in the forest which people watched”, every time you can simply write e h a b w l I t f wh p wa. (notice that since w was repeated hence for this we have taken its second letters also).

CHAPTER 8: SYLLOGISMIn almost all the competitive examination questions on syllogism or what in logic is called ‘Logical Deduction’ are asked. Syllogism is a part of academics curriculum on a subject called Logic which at a higher level becomes philosophy. Most of the students apply the process of Venn diagram for solving syllogism questions. While there is no harm in doing so but the risk is that if even 1 diagram is missed you will end up with wrong answer and secondly there is no way one can memorize the concept of Venn diagram but one can easily memorize the rules of syllogism and lastly in the event of complementary pair a small Ignorance can result in wrong answer but since there is a standard rules of syllogism for complementary pairs hence the chances of committing errors with the rules method is very minimal.

Any categorical statement is called proposition. There are4 components of a proposition. A. quantifier : the word all no and some ( as a thumb rule 1st term of the proposition) B. subject : about which something is said ( as a thumb rule word which follows

quantifier) C. copula : the part which denotes relation between subject and predicate (as a thumb

rule word in between subject and predicate) D. predicate : the last part of the proposition Structure of the proposition : Q+S+C+P (quantifier+ subject + copula + predicate) 4 classifications of propositions:

1. ALL: ALL S IS P2. NO : NO S IS P3. I: SOME S IS P4. O: SOME S IS NOT P.

Middle Term: the term common in both the proposition; and its structure should be ; predicate of first and subject of second. Eg: (I)all rackets are bats (II) all bats are hockey stick. Here bats is the middle term. If there is a common term however the same is not in prescribed order then first arrange that term in a prescribed order (p of first and s of second) as per the rules of the syllogism and then proceed. Please note that middle term does not find a place in the conclusion. If middle term exists in the conclusion then the same cannot follow.

Complementary pair: also known as the concept of either. Lets take an example there are 5 members in your family and some fruits were there in your fridge which some one has eaten in the night. One of the family members said that you have eaten some fruits



and another member says that you have eaten no fruits. We are not sure who is correct but we can safely conclude that one of them is correct and both cannot be correct. There is no chance of both being wrong either you have eaten some fruit or you have not eaten any fruit. This is what we call in logic as concept of complementary pair or the case of either, where individually none of them follows from the given proposition but taken together one of them has to follow. If any one of the two directly follows then it cannot be the case of either irrespective of the structure or the order.

Contraposition: to obtain contraposition of a statement, first replace the subject and predicate term in the proposition and then exchange both these terms with their complement.

Eg: All birds are mammals. Its contraposition “All non-mammals are non-birds” Some birds are Mammals. Its contraposition. ”Some non-mammals are non-birds” Obversion: in Obversion we change the quality of the proposition and replace the

predicate term by its complement. Four cases:(I) (A) All birds are mammals----- No birds are Non-mammals.(II) No poets are singers------All poets are Non-singers.(III) Some nurses are doctors-----Some nurses are not non-doctors.(IV) Some politicians are not statesman----Some politicians are non-statesman.

Three combinations of complimentary pair(I) A + O( ALL AND SOME NOT)(II) I +O (SOME AND SOME NOT(III) I + E (SOME AND NO)

Converse: taken from one statement in isolation. Apart from direct conclusion converse is also taken as a logical conclusion and the same is considered to be following from the given proposition.

Structure of converse:(I) Converse of A is I. (All S is P then Converse will be some P is S)(II) Converse of E is E. (No S is P then Converse will be No P is S)(III) Converse Of I is I. (Some S is P then converse will be Some P is S)(IV) Converse of O. There is no converse of O. Structure of conclusion :

1. A + A=A2. A +E=E3. E + A=O* (KNOWN AS O REVERSE DENOTED BY THE SYMBOL O*)4. E + I=O*5. I +A=I6. I +E =O.



O* OR O REVERSE is the structure of some not (O) but the difference from O is than in O* “THE SUBJECT OF THECONCLUSION IS THEPREDICATE OF THE SECOND TERM AND THE PREDICATE OF THE CONCLUSIO IS THE SUBJECT OF THE FIRST TERM” AND THE ORDER WILL BE SOME+NOT(O)

So to derive the final set of conclusions you have to check the following:a.) Converse of the proposition.b.) Converse of the converse of proposition.c.) Direct conclusion.d.) Converse of direct conclusione.) Set of complementary pairs (cases of either)

SOME IMOORTANT POINTS TOREMEMBER:1. THE ‘A’ CONCLUSION IS ONLY POSSIBLE WHEN BOTHE THE STATEMENTS BEGINS

WITH ‘A’ AND IN THE STANDARD FORMAT, I.E MIDDLE TERM PROPERLY DISTRIBUTED.

2. IF BOTH THE STATEMENTS BENS WITH ‘I’ THEN ONLY LOOK FOR CONVERSE SINCE, ‘I’ +’I’ GIVES NO CONCLUSION. IF BOTH BEGINS WITH ‘I’ ONLY LOOK FOR ‘I’ IN THE ANSWER CHOICES.

3. IF BOTH THE STATEMENTS BENS WITH ‘E’ THEN ONLY LOOK FOR CONVERSE SINCE, ‘E’ +’E’ GIVES NO CONCLUSION. IF BOTH BEGINS WITH ‘E’ ONLY LOOK FOR ‘E’ IN THE ANSWER CHOICES.

4. IF ONE OF THE STATEMENTS BEGINS WITH ‘O’ ONLY LOOK FOR THE CONVERSE OF THE OTHER, SINCE ANY COBINATION WITH ‘O’ GIVES NO CONCLUSION

5. IF BOTH BOGINS WITH ‘O’ THEN THERE WILL BE NO CONCLUSION AND MO CONVERSE, SINCE ‘O’ + ‘O’ GIVES NO CONCLUSION AND THERE IS NO CONVERSE OF ‘O’

6. BE VERY CAREFUL WHILE ANSWERING THERE MAY BE A POSSIBILITY THAT YOU DON’T FIND A MIDDLE TERM SINCE IT IS NOT PROPERLY DISTRIBUTED. LOOK FOR



A TERM WHICH IS PRESENT IN BOTH THE STATEMENTS AND SEE IF YOU CAN ARRANGE IT.

7. ARRANGEMENTS BECOMES IMPORTANT, LET US TAKE A CASE WHERE YOU FIND A FIRST STATEMENT OF ‘A’ TYPE AND SECOND OF ‘I’ TYPE. YOU WILL CONCLUDE THAT ‘A’ + ‘I’ GIVES NO CONCLUSION, WAIT ON AND LOOK FOR ARRAGEMENT SEE IF YOU SHIFT THE ‘I’ TYPE IN THE FIRST AND ‘A’ TYPE IN THE SECOND THEN ‘I’ + ‘A’ GIVES ‘I’,SO ALWAYS LOOK FOR ALL POSSIBLE ARRANGEMENTS.

8. MOST IMPORTANT DON’T CONCLUDE UNLESS YOU HAVE CHECKED THE CASES OF EITHER ‘A O’ ‘I O’ ‘IE’. TWO SUCH STATEMENTS ARE PRESENT AND NONE OF THEM DIRECTLY FOLLOWS THAN IN THAT CASE ONE OF THE TWO HAS TO FOLLOW.

9. LOOK FOR THE ANSWER CHOICES PROPERLY BEFORE MARKING THE FINAL ANSWRS.

CHAPTER 10: ANALYZING PASSAGE: TYPE:1 EXTENT OF ITS RELATION WITH THE PASSAGE:

QUESTIONS:

(A) If the inference is definitely true, ie it properly follows from the statement of facts given(B) Probably true i.e not definitely concluded but a lot of hint or evidence to be true(C) Data inadequate(D) Probably false not definitely concluded but a lot of hint or evidence to be false.(E) Definitely false.

1. Urban services have not expanded fast enough to cope with urban expansion. Low investment allocations have tended to be underspent. Both public(eg water and sewage) and private (eg low income area housing) infrastructure quality has declined. The impact of the environment in which children live and the supporting services available to them when they fall ill, seems clear. The decline in average food availability and the rise in absolute poverty, point in the same unsatisfactory directions.

(I) Birth rate is higher in urban areas as compared to lower areas(II) There is nothing to boast about urban services(III) The environment around plays a important role on the health status(IV) The public transport is in the hand of private sector(V) Though adequate provisions of funds were made but they were received underspent(VI) Low cost urban housing is on the priority

2. A radical new surgery procedure launched, not long ago in india is holding out fresh hope for patients of cardiac myopathy, or enlargement of the heart. The technique new in india, allows patients to go home two weeks after the operation to lead a near normal sedentary life. Cardiac myopathy is a condition that has a variety of causative factors. An attack from one of the 20 identified viruses, parasite infection, long term alcohol abuse and blood pressure could bring it on, and in rare cases, it could follow child birth and is even known to run in families. The condition is marked by an increase in the size of heart’s chambers and a decrease in the efficiency of pumping.

(I) Cardiac myopathy is hereditary(II) The cardiac myopathy slows down the heart beat



(III) The new technique was never tried in India in the past(IV) Earlier, the patient suffering from cardiac myopathy were required to travel abroad

for such operations(V) The efficiency of the heart in inversely proportional to the size of the heart

3. Indian rice exporters might face tough competition in the international market, allege exporters. International demand for Indian rice surfaced, either due to its lower prices or due to the crop failure in other competitive countries. However our competitors are having a good crop of rice this year and which indeed sounds as a threat for india, they pointed out. The leading producing countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, usa and Pakistan are bringing down their prices at par with Indian prices.

CHAPTER:11 ANALOGY AND CLASSIFICATION:

LOGICAL SEQUENCE OF WORDS AND REASONING OF VENN DIAGRAMS:This topic is less of reasoning and more of Elementary General Awareness which we study in our Primary and middle school. Analogy tests, the similarity in relation based on certain grouping and classification would be Odd man out based on certain grouping. Take an example:

Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Mohd Azharuddin and Virendra Sehwag . They have been classified in one group based on certain classification of similarities and of the given four one of them is not a part of that similarity. You have to find out that:

X might think its Virendra Sehwag since all the other three have captained India in the world cup. (Azhar in 1992, 1996 and 1999; Ganguly in 2003 and Dravid in 2007) at the same time Y might Argue that its Rahul Dravid since all the other three scored a century in their debut test. Both X and Y are correct in their own right but it all depends on what parameters has the paper setter designed the questions. No one can teach analogy or classification its all about your awareness and application. We will discuss few questions just to acquaint ourselves with the



format. We are also providing you with some common information which might help you in answering the questions in the examinations.

CHAPTER 12: CUBES AND DICE:

A cube is a 3-dimensional diagram with all sides equal. If we divide it into the size (1⁄n)th part of its side, we get n3 smaller cubes. Shown below is a cube which is painted on all the sides and the cut into (1⁄4)th of its original side.


NO OF CUBES: N3

ONE SIDE PAINTED (CENTRAL CUBE) = (N-2)2 × 6

TWO SIDE PAINTED (MIDDLE CUBE) = (N-2) × 12

NO SIDE PAINTED (INNER CUBE) = (N-2)3

THREE SIDE PAINTED (CORNER CUBE) ALWAYS 8

A CUBE HAS 6 FACES, 12 EDGES AND 8 CORNERS. WE CAN SEE THAT THE CUBES WHICH GOT ALL THE THREE SIDES PAINTED LIES AT THECORNER HENCE 8. CUBES WITH 2 SIDE PAINTED LIES ON THE EDGES BUT THOSE WHICH LIES ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT EDGE MATCHES WITH THE CORNER HENCE THESE 2 GETS SUBTACTED.

CUBES WITH ONE SIDE LIES ON THE SURFACE SINCE TOP AND BOTTOM ROW, LEFT AND RIGHT COLUMN MATCHES WITH THE EDGES HENCE THESE ARE EXCLUDED WHILE CALCULATING SINGLE SIDE PAINTED


Some observations: A cube has 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 corners. We can see that the cubes which got all the three sides painting lies at the corners. So the number of cubes which got painted all the three sides is equal to 8. Cubes with 2 sides painting lie on the edges (see the diagram). But the cubes which are on the left and right side of the edge matches with the corners. So we have to substract these two cubes from the number of cubes lying on the edge to get the number of cubes with 2 sides painting. Cubes with 1 side painting lies on the surfaces. Since, the top row, bottom row, left column, and right column matches with the edges, We must exclude these cubes while calculating the single side painted cubes.

The following rules may be helpful: If a cube is divided into the size (1n)th of its original side after get painted all the sides, Then

Total number of cubes = n3Cubes with 3 sides painting = 8Cubes with 2 sides painting = 12×(n−2)Cubes with 1 sied painting = 6×(n−2)2Cubes with no painting = (n−2)3

Solved Examples (Level - 1)

1. A cube whose two adjacent faces are coloured is cut into 64 identical small cubes. How many of these small cubes are not coloured at all?Assume the top face of the cube and its right side are colored green and orange respectively.



Now If we remove the colored faces, we are left with a cuboid, whose front face is indicated with dots.

So on the front face there are 9 cubes, and behind it lies 4 stacks. So total 9 x 4 = 36

2. A cube, painted yellow on all-faces is cut into 27 small cubes of equal size. How many small cubes got no painting?

Assume we have taken out the front 9 cubes. Then the cube looks like the one below.



Now the cube which is in the middle has not got any painting. The cubes on the Top row, bottom row, left column and right column all got painting on atleast one face.

Alternative method:

Use formula: (n−2)3 Here n = 3 So (3−2)3 = 1

3. All surfaces of a cube are coloured. If a number of smaller cubes are taken out from it, each side 1/4 the size of the original cube's side, Find the number of cubes with only one side painted.

The original (coloured) cube is divided into 64 smaller cubes as shown in the figure. The four central cubes on each face of the larger cube, have only one side painted. Since, there are six faces, therefore total number of such cubes = 4 x 6 = 24.

Alternative Method:

Use formula : 6×(n−2)2 = 6×(4−2)2 = 24Level - 2



4. Directions: One hundred and twenty-five cubes of the same size are arranged in the form of a cube on a table. Then a column of five cubes is removed from each of the four corners. All the exposed faces of the rest of the solid (except the face touching the table) are coloured red. Now, answer these questions based on the above statement:(1) How many small cubes are there in the solid after the removal of the columns?(2) How many cubes do not have any coloured face?(3) How many cubes have only one red face each?(4) How many cubes have two coloured faces each?(5) How many cubes have more than 3 coloured faces each?The following figure shows the arrangement of 125 cubes to form a single cube followed by the removal of 4 columns of five cubes each.

When the corner columns of the original cube are removed , and the resulting block is coloured on all the exposed faces (except the base) then we get the right hand side diagram. We labelled the various columns from a to u as shown in the figure

(1): Since out of 125 total number of cubes, we removed 4 columns of 5 cubes each, the remaining number of cubes = 125 - (4 x 5) = 125 - 20 = 105. (2): Cubes with no painting lie in the middle. So cubes which are blow the cubes named as s, t, u, p, q, r, m, n, o got no painting. Since there are 4 rown below the top layer, total cubes with no painting are (9 x 4) = 36.(3): There are 9 cubes namaed as m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t and u in layer 1, and 4 cubes (in columns b, e, h and k) in each of the layers 2, 3, 4 and 5 got one red face. Thus, there are 9 + (4 x 4) = 25 cuebs.(4) the columns (a, c, d, f, g, i, j, l) each got 4 cubes in the layers 2, 3, 4, 5. Also in the layer 1, h, k, b, e cubes got 2 faces coloured. so total cubes are 32 + 4 = 36(5): There is no cube in the block having more than three coloured faces. There are 8 cubes (in the columns a, c, d, f, g, i, j and l) in layer 1 which have 3 coloured faces. Thus, there are 8 such cubes.Thus, there are 8 such cubes.



5. Directions: A cube of side 10 cm is coloured red with a 2 cm wide green strip along all the sides on all the faces. The cube is cut into 125 smaller cubes of equal size. Answer the following questions based on this statement:(1) How many cubes have three green faces each?(2) How many cubes have one face red and an adjacent face green?(3) How many cubes have at least one face coloured?(4) How many cubes have at least two green faces each?Clearly, upon colouring the cube as stated and then cutting it into 125 smaller cubes of equal size we get a stack of cubes as shown in the following figure.

The figure can be analysed by assuming the stack to be composed of 5 horizontal layers.(1): All the corner cubes are painted green. So there are 8 cubes with 3 sides painted green. (2): There is no cube having one face red and an adjacent face green as all the green painted cubes got paint on atleast 2 faces. (3): Let us calculate the number of cubes with no painting. By formula, (n−2)3 = (5−2)3 = 27 Therefore, there are 125 - 27 = 98 cubes having at least one face coloured.(4): From the total cubes, Let us substract the cubes with red painting, cubes with no painting. 125 - (9 x 6) - 27 = 44

In a cube or a cuboid there are six faces in each. In a cube length, breadth and height are same while in cuboid these are different. In a cube the number of unit cubes = (side)3. In cuboid the number of unit cube = (l x b x h).

Example:A cube of each side 4 cm, has been painted black, red and green on pars of opposite faces. It is then cut into small cubes of each side 1 cm.



The following questions and answers are based on the information give above:1. How many small cubes will be there ?Total no. of cubes = (sides)3 = (4)3 = 64 2. How many small cubes will have three faces painted ?From the figure it is clear that the small cube having three faces colored are situated at the corners of the big cube because at these corners only three faces of the big cube meet.Therefore the required number of such cubes is always 8, because there are 8 corners.3. How many small cubes will have only two faces painted ?From the figure it is clear that to each edge of the big cube 4 small cubes are connected and two out of them are situated at the corners of the big cube which have all three faces painted.Thus, to edge two small cubes are left which have two faces painted. As the total no. of edges in a cube are 12.Hence the no. of small cubes with two faces colored = 12 x 2 = 24 (or)No. of small cubes with two faces colored = (x - 2) x No. of edgeswhere x = (side of big cube / side of small cube)

4. How many small cubes will have only one face painted ?The cubes which are painted on one face only are the cubes at the centre of each face of the



big cube.Since there are 6 faces in the big cube and each of the face of big cube there will be four small cubes.Hence, in all there will be 6 x 4 = 24 such small cubes (or) (x - 2)2 x 6.

5. How many small cubes will have no faces painted ?No. of small cubes will have no faces painted = No. of such small cubes = (x - 2)3 [ Here x = (4/1) = 4 ]= (4 - 2)3 = 8.6. How many small cubes will have only two faces painted in black and green and all other faces unpainted ?There are 4 small cubes in layer II and 4 small cubes in layer III which have two faces painted green and black.Required no. of such small cubes = 4 + 4 = 8.7. How many small cubes will have only two faces painted green and red ?No. of small cubes having two faces painted green and red = 4 + 4 = 8.8. How many small cubes will have only two faces painted black and red ?No. of small cubes having two faces painted black and red = 4 + 4 = 8.9. How many small cubes will have only black painted ?No. of small cubes having only black paint. There will be 8 small cubes which have only black paint. Four cubes will be form one side and 4 from the opposite side.10. How many small cubes will be only red painted ?No. of small cubes having only red paint = 4 + 4 = 8.



11. How many small cubes will be only green painted ?No. of small cubes having only green paint = 4 + 4 = 8.12. How many small cubes will have at least one face painted ?No. of small cubes having at least one face painted = No. of small cubes having 1 face painted + 2 faces painted + 3 faces painted= 24 + 24 + 8= 56.13. How many small cubes will have at least two faces painted ?No. of small cubes having at least two faces painted = No. of small cubes having two faces painted + 3 faces painted= 24 + 8= 32.The following questions are based on the information given below:

1. A cuboid shaped wooden block has 6 cm length, 4 cm breadth and 1 cm height.2. Two faces measuring 4 cm x 1 cm are colored in black.3. Two faces measuring 6 cm x 1 cm are colored in red.4. Two faces measuring 6 cm x 4 cm are colored in green.5. The block is divided into 6 equal cubes of side 1 cm (from 6 cm side), 4 equal cubes

of side 1 cm (from 4 cm side).

How many cubes having red, green and black colors on at least one side of the cube will be formed ?

Explanation:



Such cubes are related to the corners of the cuboid. Since the number of corners of the cuboid is 4.Hence, the number of such small cubes is 4.

How many small cubes will be formed ? Explanation:

Number of small cubes = l x b x h = 6 x 4 x 1 = 24

How many cubes will have green color on two sides and rest of the four sides having no color? Explanation:



There are 16 small cubes attached to the outer walls of the cuboid.Therefore remaining inner small cubes will be the cubes having two sides green colored.So the required number = 24 - 16 = 8

How many cubes will remain if the cubes having black and green colored are removed ?

Explanation:

Number of small cubes which are Black and Green is 8 in all.Hence, the number of remaining cubes are = 24 - 8 = 16The following questions are based on the information given below:

1. There is a cuboid whose dimensions are 4 x 3 x 3 cm.2. The opposite faces of dimensions 4 x 3 are colored yellow.3. The opposite faces of other dimensions 4 x 3 are colored red.4. The opposite faces of dimensions 3 x 3 are colored green.5. Now the cuboid is cut into small cubes of side 1 cm.

How many small cubes will have only two faces colored ? Explanation:

Number of small cubes having only two faces colored = 6 from the front + 6 from the back + 2 from the left + 2 from the right= 16

How many small cubes have three faces colored ?



Explanation:

Such cubes are related to the corners of the cuboid and there are 8 corners.Hence, the required number is 8.

How many small cubes will have no face colored?

Explanation:

Number of small cubes have no face colored = (4 - 2) x (3 - 2) = 2 x 1 = 2

How many small cubes will have only one face colored ?

Explanation:



Number of small cubes having only one face colored = 2 x 2 + 2 x 2 + 2 x 1= 4 + 4 + 2= 10The following questions are based on the information given below:

1. A cuboid shaped wooden block has 4 cm length, 3 cm breadth and 5 cm height.2. Two sides measuring 5 cm x 4 cm are colored in red.3. Two faces measuring 4 cm x 3 cm are colored in blue.4. Two faces measuring 5 cm x 3 cm are colored in green.5. Now the block is divided into small cubes of side 1 cm each.

How many small cubes will have will have three faces colored?

Explanation:

Such cubes are related to the corners of the cuboid and in the cuboid there are 8 corners.Hence, the required number of small cubes is 8.

How many small cubes will have only one face colored?

Explanation:



2 from the front + 2 from the back + 3 from the left + 3 from the right + 6 from the top + 6 from the bottom = 22

How many small cubes will have no faces colored?

Explanation:

Required number of small cubes = (5 - 2) x (4 - 2) x (3 - 2)= 3 x 2 x 1= 6

Explanation:



Required number of small cubes = 6 from the top and 6 from the bottom = 12The following questions are based on the information given below:

1. All the faces of cubes are painted with red color.2. The cubes is cut into 64 equal small cubes.

How many small cubes have only one face colored?

Explanation:

Number of small cubes having only one face colored = (x - 2)2 x No. of faces= (4 - 2)2 x 6= 24

How many small cubes have no faces colored? Explanation:



Number of small cubes having only one faces colored = (x - 2)3

Here, x = side of big cube / side of small cubex = 4 /1x = 4Required number = (4 -2)3

= 8

How many small cubes are there whose three faces are colored? Explanation:



Number of small cubes having three faces colored = No. of corners = 8

How many small cubes are there whose two adjacent faces are colored red ?.

Explanation:

Number of small cubes having two adjacent faces colored red = (x - 2) x No. of edges= (4 - 2) x 12= 24The following questions are based on the information given below:All the opposite faces of a big cube are colored with red, black and green colors. After that is cut into 64 small equal cubes.

How many small cubes are there where one face is green and other one is either black or red ? Answer: Option C

Explanation:
