  1. How many cubes/blocks are there in below figure?











  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    There are 9 columns with 5 cubes = 9 × 5
    There are 7 columns with 4 cubes = 7 × 4
    There are 5 columns with 3 cubes = 5 × 3
    There are 3 columns with 2 cubes = 3 × 2
    There is one column with 1 cubes = 1 × 1

    Correct Option: C

    There are 9 columns with 5 cubes = 9 × 5
    There are 7 columns with 4 cubes = 7 × 4
    There are 5 columns with 3 cubes = 5 × 3
    There are 3 columns with 2 cubes = 3 × 2
    There is one column with 1 cubes = 1 × 1
    Total = 9 × 5 + 7 × 4 + 5 × 3 + 3 × 2 + 1 × 1 = 81


  1. Two positions of a block are shown below (i) and (ii). When 2 dots is at the bottom which number of dots will be at the top?

    Number 1 is common to both the figures (i) and (ii). The dice in fig. (ii) is assumed to be rotated so that 1 dot moves to the top face i.e to the same position as in figure (i) and 2 and 4 dots move to the face behind the faces with 3 and 5 dots respectively.

    For the better understanding take a dice and apply the same steps which is mentioned above.

    Correct Option: A

    Number 1 is common to both the figures (i) and (ii). The dice in fig. (ii) is assumed to be rotated so that 1 dot moves to the top face i.e to the same position as in figure (i) and 2 and 4 dots move to the face behind the faces with 3 and 5 dots respectively. Clearly by combination, 3 dots lie on the face opposite the face having 2 dots. Therefore, when there are 2 dots at the bottom, the number of dots at the top will be 3.



  1. What number is opposite of 3 in the figure shown below?

    as 5 is common on both the figure, and 1,2,4 and 6 are adjacent to 5.
    For the better understanding take a dice and apply the same steps which is mentioned above.

    Correct Option: C

    as 5 is common on both the figure, and 1,2,4 and 6 are adjacent to 5. hence 3 is opposite of 5.


  1. If the total sum of numbers on opposite faces of a cubical block is always 7, find the figure which is correct.

    as per the question, sum of the numbers on opposite sides or faces is always 7. Therefore
    1 appears opposite 6,
    2 appears opposite 5 and
    3 must appears opposite of 4.

    Correct Option: C

    as per the question, sum of the numbers on opposite sides or faces is always 7. Therefore
    1 appears opposite 6,
    2 appears opposite 5 and
    3 must appears opposite of 4.
    In (a) 1 cannot adjacent to 6 In (b) 3 cannot adjacent to 4 In (d) 2 cannot appears adjacent to 5 Hence only option (c) is correct.
