A cube having all of its sides painted is cut to be two horizontal , two vertical and other two planes, so as to form 27 cubes all having the same dimesions of these cubes, a cube is selected at random.
If `P_1` be the probability that the cube selected having atleast one of its sides painted, then the value of `27P_1`, is

A

18

B

20

C

22

D
