One die is drawn below in two different ways. Find the letter opposite N.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → E
A face of a die touches four other faces and is opposite the one face it never touches. Faces seen together in one picture are neighbours, so they can never be opposite each other.
N is seen next to H and Y in (i); K and W in (ii). So N touches four faces, and the only face left, E, is opposite N
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) H — Incorrect. H is seen next to N in picture (i), so it touches N and cannot be opposite it.
Option (2) Y — Incorrect. Y is seen next to N in picture (i), so it touches N and cannot be opposite it.
Option (4) K — Incorrect. K is seen next to N in picture (ii), so it touches N and cannot be opposite it.
