Two positions of a cube are shown below. What will come opposite the face containing 9?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 4
The number 8 appears in both views. Read the three visible faces of each view in the same order (top, front, right, and round again), starting from the common face 8; the numbers that come in the same place after 8 are on opposite faces.
First view (top 7, front 8, right 9): from 8, the order is 8, 9, 7
Second view (top 8, front 4, right 6): from 8, the order is 8, 4, 6
Second places: 9 and 4 are opposite; third places: 7 and 6 are opposite
So 4 is opposite the face containing 9.
