Choose the box that is similar to the box formed from the given sheet of paper (X).
Options
A. 1 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 1, 3 and 4 only
D. 1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct Answer
1 only
Explanation
The fig. (X) is similar to
Form IV. So, when the sheet shown in fig. (X) is folded to , form a cube, then the face bearing the dot lies opposite to the shaded face, the face bearing a circle (with '+' sign inside it) lies opposite to a blank face and the remaining two blank faces lie opposite to each other. Clearly, the cubes shown in figures (2) and (4) cannot be formed since they have the shaded face adjacent to the face bearing a dot and the cube shown in fig. (3) cannot be formed since it shows all the three blank faces adjacent to each other. Hence only the cube shown in fig. (1) can be formed.

1. Three different positions X, Y and Z of a dice are shown in the figures given below. Which number lies at the bottom face in position X?
From positions X and Y we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4. From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5 lie adjacent to 6. Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and consequently 5 lies opposite 3.
As analysed above, the number on the face opposite 5 is 3. In position X, since 5 lies on the top, therefore 3 must lie at the bottom face.
2. Choose the alternative which is closely resembles the mirror image of the given combination.
