Detailed Solution

Electric field is perpendicular to the shaded faces shown in figure along +ve x-axis.  E is parallel to the remaining four faces and hence fluxes through them are zero.

At face (1), E = 0 as x = 0 and flux = 0

Net flux through the cube = flux through the face (2) = EA = (E0a)a2 = E0a2
