Solved Example 2: There is a cubical box and each face has a number on it
as shown in the following figure
Image: Dice
If numbers on the opposite faces of this box add up to 7. Find
1. Which number is on the opposite side of 2?
2. Which number will be at the bottom?
3. If you open it up, draw an image to show the pattern.
Ans:
1. Here, the sum of the numbers on the opposite faces is 7.
Therefore, 5 is on the opposite side of 2. Because 2 + 5 = 7
2. Again, the sum of the number on the opposite face is 7,
Therefore, 6 will be at the bottom because 1 + 6 = 7
3. We can say, 4 is on the opposite side of 3 because 4 + 3 = 7
• 5 is on the opposite side of 2.
• 6 is on the opposite side of 1.
Ans:
1. (c) On the top view, there are only 2 boxes. Therefore, option (c) is the
correct option.
2. (c) On the front view, there are 6 boxes. Therefore, option (c) is the correct
option.
3. (a) On the side view, there are two columns, each of the 4 boxes. Therefore,
option (a) is the correct answer.
4. (c) On the top view, there are two columns, each of the 6 boxes. Therefore,
option (c) is the correct answer.
5. (b) On the front view, there are two columns, each of the 3 boxes. Therefore,
option (b) is the correct answer.
