I don't think that 8 is correct. Because it says take odd number so we have to take an odd number.

I) we see 3 & 6 is shown, which means its opposite numbers are 4 & 1. The erase portion is 2 & 5. Now check the third dice and fifth dice.

III) - 5&2, dice.

(V) -3&4, dice.

From this we take odd no. :- 5 + 5 + 3 = 13 is answer.

I hope it's helpful for all.

First, the given is all dice are standard dice because the sum of any opposite side is = 7.

So, by this, we can find all the missing spots.

All standard dice have the same value which are;

1. Top = 1.
2. Bottam = 6.
3. Right = 4.
4. Left = 3.
5. Front = 2.
6. Back = 5.

So, now. If you top (1) + bottam (6) = 7, right (4) + lift (3) = 7, front (2) + back (5) =7. By this you can fill the the blankspots.

2+2+4=8 is correct

According to question odd no. dice like (I,II,III) top should be even and sum between opposite face 7.

Now in 1st dice, you can see 3 and 6 faces so their opposite face should be 4 and 1 respectively. only top and bottom place are left so 2 should come on top which is even and bottom should be 5 which is 2+5=7. A/c question we will select even only = 2.

similarly in 3rd dice 6 and 4 face so opposite face should be 1 and 3 respectively.
now top should be again 2 which is even = 2.
similarly, in 5th dice 1 and 5 faces are given so their opposite face is 6 and 2 respectively.

Now the top should be 4 which is even = 4.
ANS = 2+2+4 = 8.

5+3+2=10 can be answer. Then why not 10 can be the answer?

Question Have some problem as fig. II, III, IV have one number fixed ie, 4 so as per the rule other numbers (no other that 4 in II, III, AND IV) must be opposite to each other but three no. cannot be opposite.

Thus, there might be some error in the question.
