- Question
A cube has six different symbols drawn over its six faces. The symbols are dot, circle, triangle, square, cross and arrow. Three different positions of the cube are shown in figures X, Y, and Z.
Which symbol is opposite the arrow?
Options- Correct Answer
- Triangle
ExplanationFrom figures X and Y, we conclude that dot, circle, square and cross lie adjacent to the triangle. Therefore, the arrow must lie opposite the triangle. From figures X and Z, we conclude that dot, triangle, arrow and cross lie adjacent to the circle. Therefore, the square must lie opposite the circle. Thus, the arrow lies opposite the triangle, the square lies opposite the circle and consequently, the cross lies opposite the dot.As analysed above, the symbol opposite the arrow is the triangle.

- 1. Two positions of a dice are shown below. When number 1 is on the top, what number will be at the bottom?

Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Number 6 is common to both the positions of the dice. We assume the dice in fig. (ii) to be rotated so that 6 remains on the top face (i.e. face V as per activity 1) and the number 4 in fig. (ii) moves to the FR-RH face (i.e. face I) as in fig. (i), then 5 will move to the RR-RH face (i.e. face II). Clearly, 5 (which lies on face II) and 1 (which lies on face IV) will be opposite to each other. So, when 1 is on the top, then 5 will be at the bottom.- 4. Two positions of a cube are shown below. When the number 4 will be at the bottom, then which number will be at the top?

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 remains on the RHS face (i.e. face II as per activity 1) and the numbers 5 and 3 move to the faces hidden behind 2 and 4 respectively (in fig. (i). Then, clearly 3 lies opposite 4. Hence, when 4 is at the bottom then 3 mist lie on the top.- 5. Observe the dots on a dice (one to six dots) in the following figures. How many dots are contained on the face opposite to that containing four dots?

Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
We shall assume the dice in fig. (ii) to be rotated so that the 5 dots appear at the same position as in fig. (i) i.e. on RHS face (i.e. on face II as per activity 1) and 1 dot appears at the same position as in fig; (i) i.e. on Front face (i.e. on face I). Then, from the, two figures, 2 dots appear on the top face (i.e. on face V) and 4 dots appear on the Bottom face (i.e. on face VI).Since, these two faces are opposite to each other, therefore, two dots are contained on the face opposite to that containing four dots.
