Detailed Solution

10 × 10 × 10

cube has 10 cubes of

1 × 1 × 1

cubes each along its length, breadth, and width.
If we take away a layer of

1 × 1 × 1

cubes (the smaller cubes), the new cube will have the following dimensions:
Length,

10 − 1 − 1 = 8

.
Breadth,

10 − 1 − 1 = 8

.
Width,

10 − 1 − 1 = 8

.
So, the number of

1 × 1 × 1

cubes in this

8 × 8 × 8

cube equals,

= 8 × 8 × 8 = 512

Hence, the correct option is 3.
