Verbal Reasoning - Dice - Discussion

Here the sum of any two side of side is 7 so it is general dice and in case of general dice we have.

1 opposite to 6.
2 opposite to 5.
3 opposite to 4?

But it is following the rule of standard dice how? Aan anyone explain?

1 is same direction of two dice.

So 2 ----- 4 or 2 ---- 5.

Please tell me rule 2.

@Sateesh.

Your answer was easy to understand.

What is rule no.2?

Explain the rule.

How we can learn this kind of question I am trying to solve this kind of question, however this goes out of mind so please give me any suggestions.

Very simple:

Just strike the common numbers (2, 1) of both dice, then remaining numbers on the both dice are 5-4.

Earlier I was bit too confused about rule 2 now I understand.

It says If there are two common faces then and one is at common position then remaining faces (two faces left) that will be opposite to each other.

i.e In position 1 there are three faces 2 5 1. In position 2 there are three faces 4 2 1.

Two common faces (1 at common position and 2 not at common position) exactly fit in rule 2 description. So the remaining left is 5 and 4 they will be opposite to each other.

Total six faces in two position (3+3) = (1 2) & 5 + (1 2) & 4 common.

So 5 and 4 left they are opposite.

Only difference between rule 2 & rule 3 is that in rule 3 only one faces is common and that is at common position.

The question is opposite to face 5 points.

Lets see the both dices in points = 5, 2, 1 and 4, 2, 1. (all are nearest points right).

2 and 1 is common for both the dices.

4 only come to opposite side and so on 2 and 1 are already near to 5.

Hence 4 is the answer.

ANS : D.

Consider the dice in figure 1. Hold the dice shown in figure in your hand such that the side having 5 points is facing you. Then on your right (adjacent to 5) we have 1, and the top side will be 2.

If you rotate the dice such that the side having 2 points is facing you, then we get the second figure.

Hence the answer is 4.
