$(a)$ If the charge $q$ is placed at $\mathrm{C}$, the centre of a face of the cube, it is being shared equally by 2 cubes.

$\therefore$ Flux through each cube,

$\phi=\frac{\phi^{\prime}}{\epsilon_{0}}=\frac{q}{2 \epsilon_{0}}$

$(b)$ Finally, if charge $q$ is placed at $\mathrm{D}$, the midpoint of $\mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{C}$, it is being shared equally by 2 cubes. $\therefore$ Flux through each cube,

$\phi=\frac{\phi^{\prime}}{\epsilon_{0}}=\frac{q}{2 \epsilon_{0}}$
