In a dice, 1, 2, 3 and 4 are written on the adjacent faces, in a clockwise order and 5 and 6 at the top and bottom. When three is at the top, what will be at the bottom?Figure for CUET General Test 2022 8 Aug Shift 1 question 23 (Logical Reasoning)

Solution

Correct Option: 1

From the problem description, we can map out the exact placement of all six numbers:

  • Top and Bottom: 5 is at the top, and 6 is at the bottom. This means 5 is opposite to 6.
  • Adjacent Sides (Clockwise Order): The numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 wrap around the remaining four vertical faces in a continuous clockwise circle.

2. Find the Opposite Pairs

Since 1, 2, 3, and 4 form a continuous loop around the sides:

  • The face opposite to 1 will be two steps away, which is 3.
  • The face opposite to 2 will be two steps away, which is 4.

So, the pairs of opposite faces are:

  • 565 \longleftrightarrow 6
  • 242 \longleftrightarrow 4
  • 131 \longleftrightarrow 3

Conclusion:

Since 3 is opposite to 1, when 3 is placed at the top, its directly opposite number, 1, will be at the bottom.
