Discussion Forum : Dice - Dice 2 (Q.No. 1)
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

@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.

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?

OKAY First of all 6 dices are given.
And according to question, we must take even number of dices i.e. fig 2, 4, 6.
Given, the opposite face of dices will have a Sum of 7.
So in fig 2:we have 5 front so its opposite will be 2 (their sum goes like this 5+2=7) and in 4 in right, so opposite will be 3 (4+3=7) remaining 6 and 1 (6+1=7) as it will be opposite with each other. According to the question, even the number of dots will be in the top so obviously in between remaining number 6 and 1.
6 will be on top in fig 2. And the same trick goes to rest fig 4 and 6.

Sum of opp. phases is =7.
Then,
Even number on the tip phase;
so,
6+1=7.
so,
I think that he takes 6.

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.
