If we calculate 6*27-6*9=108, D becomes our answer.

I have a small doubt here. But the question says that the volume of the 27 smaller cubes is 1 . so then we need to calculate the volume of one smaller cube right?? Also if we calculate by the above method then the SA of smaller ones are larger than the large cylinder by itself. can this happen ? Kindly explain
