Three different positions X, Y and Z of a dice are shown in the figures given below. Which number lies at the bottom face in position Y?
From positions X and Y we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4. From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5 lie adjacent to 6. Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and consequently 5 lies opposite 3.
As analysed above, the number on the face opposite 4 is 2. In position Y, since 4 lies on the top, therefore 2 must lie at the bottom face.
What is the opposite 3, if four different positions of dice are as shown below?
From figures (i), (iii) and (iv), we conclude that 2, 6, 1. and 5 appear adjacent to 3. Clearly, 4 will appear opposite 3.
The four different positions of dice are given below: Which number is on the face opposite 6?
From figures (i), (ii) and (iii), we conclude that the numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 appear adjacent to 6.
Clearly, the remaining number i.e. 1 will appear on the face opposite 6.
A dice is numbered from 1 to 6 in different ways.
If 1 is opposite to 2 and adjacent to 3 and 4, then which of the following statements is necessarily true?
Three different positions X, Y and Z of a dice are shown in the figures given below. Which number lies opposite 6?
From positions X and Y we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4. From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5 lie adjacent to 6. Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and consequently 5 lies opposite 3.
As analysed above, 1 lies opposite 6.
