One die is drawn below in two different ways. Find the letter opposite A.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 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.
A is seen next to G and M in (i); C and K in (ii). So A touches four faces, and the only face left, E, is opposite A
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (2) K — Incorrect. K is seen next to A in picture (ii), so it touches A and cannot be opposite it.
Option (3) C — Incorrect. C is seen next to A in picture (ii), so it touches A and cannot be opposite it.
Option (4) M — Incorrect. M is seen next to A in picture (i), so it touches A and cannot be opposite it.
