Question

Three positions of a cube are shown below. What number is opposite to the face marked 1?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is D 5

Choose any 2 dice that have only one number in common.

For example, figures 1 and 2 have only 5 in common.

Now, move clockwise as per the dice.

Figure 1: 5–3–6 (3 and 6 are adjacent)

Figure 1: 5–2–4 (2 and 4 are adjacent)

Hence, 3, 6, 2, and 4 are adjacent to the number 1.

We can observe that 3 is only opposite 2, and 6 is opposite 4.

Now, only 5 is left, which is opposite 1.
