Detailed Solution

Consider any wire and assume there are 4 cubes placed around the wire, so flux due to the wire through all four cubes will be λlεo 

Flux due to single wire through each cube is given by ϕ=λl4ε0,

similarly four wires out of twelve will have same contribution and eight will have zero ϕcube =λl4ε0×12 

Because of symmetry the flux is equally distributed through all six sides, 

ϕside=16×3λlεo=λ`2εo
