number of dots at the bottom face must be 6. 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4.
8. Answer: Option D From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5
From figures (i), (ii) and (iii), we conclude that 1, 3, 5 lie adjacent to 6. Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6.
and 6 dots appear adjacent to the face with 2 dots. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and
Therefore, 4 dots will appear opposite to 2 dots. Now, consequently 5 lies opposite 3.
from figures (i) and (ii), we conclude that 2, 3 and 5 As analysed above, the number on the face opposite
dots appear adjacent to 1 dot Therefore, either 4 or 6 5 is 3. In position X, since 5 lies on the top, therefore
dots will appear opposite to 1 dot. But since, 4 dots 3 must lie at the bottom face.
