One dice out of n will have output 1,3,5 so three choices other dices will have 6 choices
So total will be 3.6.6.6.6.6.6. . . =3 x6n-1

IT IS NOTHING BUT TOTAL NUMBER OF WAYS IN WHICH ALL THE NUMBERS WILL COME -NO DICE SHOWS AN ODD NUMBER(1,3,5)
SO TOTAL NUMBER OF EVEN NUMBERS ARE (2,4,6) HAS POSSIBILITIES TO OCCUR IS 3.3.3.3.3.3.3........N TIMES 
HERE TOTAL NUMBER OF WAYS IN WHICH ALL NUMBERS WILL COME IS =6.6.6.6.6.6.6.........n TIMES 
THERE FORE,REQUIRED ANSWER IS 6^n-3^n.
