Question:medium

Given below are pictures of a dice.
Which number is on the face opposite to 3?

Show Hint

In dice problems, if a face is seen with four different faces across multiple views, those four faces are adjacent to it. The only remaining face is its opposite face.
  • 6
  • 2
  • 4
  • 5
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation


Step 1:
Observe Dice I.
The visible faces are: \[ 1,\;2,\;3 \] Hence face \(3\) is adjacent to: \[ 1 \text{ and } 2 \]

Step 2:
Observe Dice II.
The visible faces are: \[ 4,\;3,\;5 \] Hence face \(3\) is adjacent to: \[ 4 \text{ and } 5 \]

Step 3:
List all faces adjacent to 3.
Combining the information from Dice I and Dice II: \[ 3 \text{ is adjacent to } 1,2,4,5 \] Thus the four adjacent faces of \(3\) are: \[ {1,\;2,\;4,\;5} \]

Step 4:
Use the cube property.
A face of a cube has exactly four adjacent faces and one opposite face. The six faces of the dice are: \[ 1,\;2,\;3,\;4,\;5,\;6 \] Among these, \[ 1,\;2,\;4,\;5 \] are already adjacent to \(3\). The only number remaining is: \[ 6 \] Therefore \(6\) must be opposite to \(3\).

Step 5:
Write the final answer.
\[ {6} \] Hence option (A) is correct.
