The minimum number of colours to required paint all sides of a cube that no two adjacent faces may have the same colour is.

Solution

Correct Option: 3

A cube has 6 faces, arranged as 3 pairs of opposite faces. Opposite faces are not adjacent to each other, so they can be painted in the same colour. Thus, each pair can share one colour, requiring minimum 3 different colours.
