Two positions of a dice are shown below. When there are two dots at the bottom, the number of dots at the top will be
Options
A. 3
B. 5
C. 6
D. Cannot be determined
Correct Answer
3
Explanation
Number 1 is common to both the positions of the dice. We assume the dice in fig. (ii) to be rotated so that 1 dot moves to the top face (i.e. face V as per activity 1) i.e. to the same position as in fig. (i) and 2 and 4 dots move to the faces hidden behind the faces with 3 and 5 dots respectively. Thus, the combined figure will have 1 dot on the Top (i.e. on face V), 5 dots on Front face (i.e. on face I), 3 dots on RHS face (i.e. face II), 4 dots on the Rear face (i.e. face III) and 2 dots on the LHS face (i.e. face IV). Clearly, 3 dots lie on the face opposite the face having 2 dots. Therefore, when there are 2 dots at the bottom, the number of dots at the top will be 3.

1. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.
The central arrow rotates 90
oACW and 45
oCW alternately. The half-arrow moves half-a-side of the square boundary in a CW direction and its head turns to the other side of the line in each step.
2. Select a suitable figure from the Answer Figures that would replace the question mark (?).
The upper element is converted to an element similar to the lower elements and each one of the lower elements is converted to an element similar to the upper element.
3. Select a suitable figure from the Answer Figures that would replace the question mark (?).
The two elements interchange positions; the element that reaches the LHS position gets vertically inverted and the element that reaches the RHS position, rotates 90
oACW.
5.
Choose the alternatives which is closely resembles the water image of the given combination.
The set of three pins gets vertically inverted and moves to the lower-right position; the triangle rotates 90
oACW; the third element rotates 45
oACW and moves to the upper-left position. The dot in this element moves to the adjacent portion in a CW direction.
7. Select a suitable figure from the Answer Figures that would replace the question mark (?).
