    Dice

    Dice is a cube. In cube there are 6 faces. Some important points are given below:

    1. There are 6 faces in the cube - ABCG, GCDE, DEFH, BCDH, AGEF and ABHF.

    2. Always four faces are adjacent to one face.3. Opposite of ABCG is DEFH and so on.4. CDEG is the upper face of the cube.5. ABHF is the bottom of the cube.

    There are certain rules with the help of these rules question on dice can easilydetermined.

    Rule No. 1:

  • 8/13/2019 2.Logical Reasoning

    35/91

    Two opposite faces cannot be adjacent to one another.

    Example:

    Two different positions of a dice are shown below. Which number will appear on the faceopposite to the face with number 4?

    Solution:

    Faces with four numbers 6, 2, 5 and 3 are adjacent of to the face with No. 4.

    Hence the faces with no. 6, 2, 5 and 3 cannot be opposite to the face with no. 4.

    Therefore the remaining face with no.1 will be the opposite of the face with no. 4.

    Rule No. 2:

    If two different positions of a dice are shown and one of the two common faces is in thesame position then of the remaining faces will be opposite to each other.

    Example:

    Two different positions of a dice are shown below.

    Here in both shown positions two faces 5 and 3 are common.

    The remaining faces are 2 and 4.

    Hence the number on the face opposite to the face with number 2 is 4.

    Rule No. 3:

    If in two different positions of dice, the position of a common face be the same, then eachof the opposite faces of the remaining faces will be in the same position.

  • 8/13/2019 2.Logical Reasoning

    36/91

    Example:

    Here in both positions of common (3) is same.

    Therefore, opposite of 5 is 6 and opposite of 4 is 2.

    Rule No. 4:

    If in two different positions of a dice, the position of the common face be not the same,then opposite face of the common face will be that which is not shown on any face inthese two positions. Besides, the opposite faces of the remaining faces will not be thesame.

    Example:

    Here in two positions of a dice the face with number 1 is not in the same position.

    The face with number 6 is not shown.

    Hence the face opposite to the face with number 1 is 6.

    Besides the opposite face of 3 will be the face with number 2 and opposite face to face 5will be the face with number 1.

    Four positions of a dice are shown below. Which number of the face will be oppositeto the face with number 3?

    52.

    A.1 B.2C.4 D.5

  • 8/13/2019 2.Logical Reasoning

    37/91

    Answer & Explanation

    Answer:Option A

    Explanation:

    The numbers of the adjacent faces to the face with number 3 are 5, 6, 2 and 4. Hence

    the face with number (1) will be opposite to the face with number (3).

    From the positions of a cube are shown below, Which letter will be on the faceopposite to face with 'A'?

    53.

    A.D B.BC.C D.F

    Answer & Explanation

    Answer:Option A

    Explanation:

    The letters of the adjacent faces to the face with letter A, are B, F, C and E. Hence Dis the letter of the face opposite to the face with letters (A).

    Two positions of a dice are shown below. Which number will appear on the faceopposite to the face with the number 5?

    54.

    A.2/6 B.2C.6 D.4Answer & Explanation

    Answer:Option C

  • 8/13/2019 2.Logical Reasoning

    38/91

    Explanation:

    According to the rule no. (3), common faces with number 3, are in same positions.Hence the number of the opposite face to face with number 5 will be 6.

    Two positions of a dice are shown below. When 3 points are at the bottom, how manypoints will be at the top?

    55.

    A.2 B.5C.4 D.6

    Answer & Explanation

    Answer:Option C

    Explanation:

    According to the rule (2) when 3 points are at the bottom then 4 points will be at thetop.

    How many points will be on the face opposite to the face which contains 3 points?56.

    A.2 B.4C.5 D.6

    Answer & Explanation

    Answer:Option C

    Explanation:

    The adjacent faces to the face which 3 points have 2, 1, 4 and 6 points. Hence on the

    face which is opposite to the face which contains 3 points, there will be 5 points.

    Venn Diagram

    The main aim of this section is to test your ability about the relation between some itemsof a group by diagrams. In these questions some figures of circles and some words aregiven. You have to choose a figure which represents the given words.

  • 8/13/2019 2.Logical Reasoning

    39/91

    Some critical examples are given below:

    Example 1:

    If all the words are of different groups, then they will be shown by the diagram as givenbelow.

    Dog, Cow, Horse

    All these three are animals but of different groups, there is no relation between them.Hence they will be represented by three different circles.

    Example 2:

    If the first word is related to second word and second word is related to third word. Thenthey will be shown by diagram as given below.

    Unit, Tens, Hundreds

    Ten units together make one Tens or in one tens, whole unit is available and ten tenstogether make one hundreds.
