The correct answer is: $\frac{\mathrm{Q}}{6 \epsilon_{0}} \mu \mathrm{Vm}, \quad \frac{\mathrm{Q}}{3 \epsilon_{0}} \mu \mathrm{Vm}$
By using Gauss's Law.
It is given as
$\Phi=\oint \vec{E} \cdot d \vec{s}=\frac{q}{\epsilon_{0}}$
Now, the flux passing through all the six surfaces would be
$\Phi=6 \phi=\frac{q}{\epsilon_{0}}$
And the flux passing through each surface would be
$\phi=\frac{q}{6 \in_{0}}$
