Three different positions of the same dice are shown. Find the number on the face opposite the face showing '2'.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Step 1) In figure Ist and IInd, 2 is common
Step 2) The number ‘2’ is common in both the dice, but it is at a different position. In order to find out, the number appearing on the opposite face, rotate the dice in a clockwise direction with the common number as the reference.
Step 3) 2 4 5
2 3 6
Step 4) 4 is opposite to 3
5 is opposite to 6
Therefore ,
2 will be opposite to 1
Alternate way :
Compare figure IInd and IIIrd 3 and 6 both are common
therefore
2 will be opposite to 1
