Directions (Q.8 & Q.9) : Sometimes we are given figures showing the same die in various positions. After
observing these figures, we have to find the number opposite a given number on the die. The procedure to be
adopted for solving such problems, will be clear from the following examples :
Example: A die is thrown four times and its four different positions are given below. Find the number on the
face opposite the face showing 2.
(A) 3 (B) 4 (C) 5 (D) 6
Solution :
Here, the number 2 appears in three dice, namely (i), (ii) and (iv). In these dice, we observe that the
numbers 2, 4, 1 and 6 appear adjacent to 3. So, none of these numbers can be present opposite 2. The
only number left is 5.
The answer is (c)
8.
What number is opposite 4 ?
