Introduction
In This Chapter we will study the non-verbal section of Cubes and dice. Verbal questions on cubes has been discussed
earlier in this book. As cube is a three dimensional geometrical figure, which can only be made out of squares. Square
when given a height equal to one of the sides becomes a cube. It has six equal sides or surface Twelve edges and eight
corners.
When the number of cubes or blocks in a figure is to be counted following procedure to be adopted.
Counting the Number of Cubes / Blocks.
Example 1:

(a) 5 (b) 6 (c) 7 (d) 8
Solution: the above figure consists 3 blocks in a column and one block in 3-columns.
Total blocks = (3 × 1) + (1 × 3) = 3 + 3 = 6
Option (b)

Example 2:

(a) 20 (b) 21 (c) 22 (d) 24
Solution: The above figure we can solve by consisting rows too.
There are two rows with 8 blocks and 1 rows – 6 blocks.
Total Blocks – (2 × 8) + (1 × 6) = 16 + 6 = 22
Option (c)
