Cubes and Dices 345
Example 2: Three different positions of the same dice are given below. Find the number on the face opposite the face
showing 4?

5 3 4

3 1 4 5 3 2

(i) (ii) (iii)
Solution: Clearly from the figures we find 3 in all the cubes.

From the First Figure we find the adjacent number of three be 5 and 1.
From second we find the adjacent number of three be 4 and 5.

From third we get 4 and 2 as adjacent numbers, hence we find 1,2,4 and 5 hence 6 is opposite of 3.
Now from figure (ii) and (iii) we get 2, 3, 5 and 6 (from above, as 6 six is opposite to 3 but adjacent to 4) are adjacent
to 4. Hence 1 is opposite to number 4.

Example 3: How many dots are there on the dice face opposite the one with three dots?

(i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
(a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 5 (d) 6
Solution: From figure (I), (II) and (IV) we can able to observe a common dice face that is 3 dots.

From figure (I), (II) and (IV) we get that 1, 2,4 and 6 are adjacent to 3 dots. Hence, 5 dots on the face opposite the face
with 3 dots. Option (c) is our answer.
