A cube has a side of 4cm.b The cube is painted red on all six side. This cube is then cut into 125 smaller cubes. How many of these smaller cubes will have only one side of their sides painted?

Answer:

The 4cm cube is divide into 125 smaller cubes:
that means that the 4cm cube = 5 smaller cubes in height, width, and depth

Also, given that the 4cm is painted red on all six side:
- only those smaller cubes that touch no outer surface will be free of red paint, thus:
- 27 smaller cubes have no red paint on them
- 98 smaller cubes have some red paint on them

How many of these smaller cubes will have only one side of their sides painted?
- only those smaller cubes that do not touch the edges of the 4cm cube will have only one side painted, thus:
- 54 smaller cubes have only one side painted
- 36 smaller cubes have two sides painted
- 8 smaller cubes have three sides painted

Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression
N = 9 + X + Y - Z
where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, What would be the value of N at the end of the game?		In how many ways can a lock be opened if that lock has three digit number lock if

i) the last digit is 9
ii) and sum of the first two digits is less than or equal to the last digit
