Cubes and Dice - 1 Question 20 – answer, explanation & discussion

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.
