Three different positions of the same dice are shown, the six faces of which are shown in dots numbered 1 to 6. How many will be on the face opposite the face showing '3 dots?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 4.
After comparing all three dice, we observe that dot 3 appears in the second dice. Its adjacent faces are dot 5 and dot 6, so these cannot be opposite to dot 3. Next, when we compare the first and third dice, we see that dot 4 is common to both. The adjacent faces of dot 4 are dot 1, 2, 5, and 6, so none of these can be opposite to dot 4. The only remaining face that hasn't been identified as adjacent to dot 3 is dot 4.
Therefore, the face opposite to dot 3 is dot 4.
