A cube having all of its sides painted is cut by two horizontal, two vertical, and other two planes so as to form 27 cubes all having the same dimensions. Of these cubes, a cube is selected at random.
The probability that the cube selected has two sides painted is

A

`1//9`

B

`4//9`

C

`8//27`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
