The surface area in the original cube is 6*(3*3)=6*9=54.
Now for increasing the surface area the most, remove the cubes which are least open to the air, and those will be the middle one in each face, so SIX of them
Each cube in middle has one face open, but when you remove it, there will be 5 faces open, a face on each cube adjacent to it.
A difference of 5-1= 4 units, so total 6 in middle and therefore an increase of 6*4=24 units.
Total surface area =54+24=78
Now question might be asking 6 cubes to be removed rather than 8 cubes.
If I have to still remove 2 more, I would remove 2 corner ones as each has 3 faces open and by removing them another 3 would be open, resulting in no change in surface area.
Hence answer 78
