Question

The figures given below shows the two different positions of a dice. Which number will appear opposite to number 2 ?

• A. $3$
• B. $4$
• C. $5$
• D. $6$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$5$

The above question, where only two positions of a dice are given, can easily be solved with the following method.
Step I. The dice, when unfolded, will appear as shown in the figure given on the right side.
Step II. Write the common number of both the dice in the middle block. Since common number is $4,$ hence number $4$ will appear in the central block.
Step III. Consider the figure (i) and write the first number in the anticlockwise direction of number $4,$ (common number) in block I and second number in block II. Therefore, numbers $3$ and $2$ will appear in block I & II respectively.
Step IV. Consider figure (i) and write first and second number in the anticlockwise direction to number $4,$ (common number) in block (III) & (IV). Hence numbers $6$ and $5$ will appear in the blocks III and IV respectively.
Step V. Write remaining number in the remaining block. Therefore, number $1$ will appear in the remaining block.

Now, from the unfolded figures we find that number opposite to $6$ is $3,$ number opposite to $2$ is $5$ and number opposite to $4$ is $1$.

Therefore, option C is correct.
