If even numbered dice have even number of dots on their top faces, then what would be the total number of dots on the top faces of their dice?

No. of dots on the top face of (II) dice = 6

No. of dots on the top face of (IV) dice = 6

Why not consider 1st, 3rd and 5th dices? ist dice also have either 2 or 5, you can take 2 and similarly 2nd 3rd dices can also have on their top 2 and 4 respectively.

Please justify me.

There is no condition present saying only 6 to be taken as the number on the top of each, why can't we take either 2 are 4.

They are also the even numbers, please give a clear explanation for this.

@ALL. Even number of dices are 2, 4, 6. It's clear that 2, 4, 5 are adjacent to each other. And it's said that top numbers should be even. Among 1 to 6, 2, 4, 6 are even, but 2 and 4 are adjacent. So, 6 is the answer.

These are standerd dice and each nearest faces sum is not equal to 7 that's why we taking 6.

As explained above all 6, except 5th are having 1 at the bottom. And all should have 6 at the top, but 1st dice is having 6 adjacent to 1.

But by the figures V and VI, 1 is opposite to 4.

I think 2 4 6 dice contain 9, 6, 9 dots so answer will be 24 I think once 0 through this.
