Initial total number of cubes = 343,
Number of cubes removed = 27
Smaller 27 cubes painted blue
Exposed faces of original big cube (3 faces with 9 cube on each face i.e total 27 cubes) painted with black
In original big cube number of faces with one colour is 3(6 -2)2 = 48 (here we have considered only 3 untouched of big cube)
But here we have removed a cubes of the form of 3 x 3 x 3 and again put it back so out of three new exposed faces of big cube we will have 4 cubes in each face that is painted with one colour hence number of cubes from these three surfaces is 3 x 4 = 12
Now consider out of 3 x 3 x 3 cubes we will have 6 cubes (one in each face ) which are painted only one face.
Hence total number of cubes = 48 + 12 + 6 = 66
