Answer should be 4

Although if you do not pass your cut through centre,by 3 cuts we get exactly 6 pieces not more than that so we need 4 cuts atleast

Here's the explanation.

2 cut on any side to made it into 4 pieces. The 3rd cut on the side of the cake so it made into 8 pieces.

Anwer is Wrong

It should be 4 in order to cut it more than 6pieces,if it is exact six pieces then answer is three.

The answer is correct.

It is not written in the question that the knife should pass through the centre every time. So, try making a cut away from the centre and you will easily get more than 6 pieces.

This answer is wrong

To cut more than 6 pieces you need to cut it 4 times. 3 times will only give you six
