Directions to Solve
Six dice with upper faces erased are as shows.
The sum of the numbers of dots on the opposite face is 7.
1.
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?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Even numbered dice are: (II), (IV) and (VI)
No. of dots on the top face of (II) dice = 6
No. of dots on the top face of (IV) dice = 6
and No. of dots on the top face of (VI) dice = 6
Therefore Required total = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18

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.

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.

@All.
Consider the first two dices. They have a common down face which is 1. According to Rule No 3, 5 and 4 should be the opposite faces of 3 and 6 respectively. Then, 2 should be face-up. But it seems contradict to the answer. Can anyone tell me to get the correct answer?

1 Opposite 6, 2 opposite 5, 3 opposite 4.
So Then the Odd Number Of Dots on their Faces are 5, 1, 5, 1, 3, 1 Next.
Even the Number of Dots on their Faces are 2, 6, 2, 6, 4, 6.
Then Fill the Blanks and you will get the answers.

Even numbered dice 1, 2, and 4 now, the top palace should even dots like;
dice 2 top place: 2 or 6
dice 2 top place: 6 [because 2 and 4 are already present]
and dice 4 top place : 2 or 6.
Now compare 2 and 4th dice if the 2nd dice top is 6 then 2's opposite 5 but the 4th dice top can't be 2 because 5 is adjacent so it's top will be 6 also
and if the 2nd dice top is 2 then 5's opposite 6, now 4th top can't be 6 because 5 is adjacent so it will be 2 also;
Now;
total of even numbers dice may be 6+6+6 or 2+6+2 so 18 or 10
So, the answer will be 18.
Now in 4th dice.
dice 2 top place: 2 or 6
dice 2 top place: 6 [because 2 and 4 are already present]
and dice 4 top place : 2 or 6.
Now compare 2 and 4th dice if the 2nd dice top is 6 then 2's opposite 5 but the 4th dice top can't be 2 because 5 is adjacent so it's top will be 6 also
and if the 2nd dice top is 2 then 5's opposite 6, now 4th top can't be 6 because 5 is adjacent so it will be 2 also;
Now;
total of even numbers dice may be 6+6+6 or 2+6+2 so 18 or 10
So, the answer will be 18.
Now in 4th dice.
