Question

Two different positions of the same dice with faces Z, G, M, F, H and S are shown below. Select the letter that will be on the face opposite to the one having G. [Refer to the figure.]

  1. A. S
  2. B. F (Correct answer)
  3. C. H
  4. D. M

Correct Answer

Option B — F

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is F.

Key Points

  • The face 'Z' is common to both positions; taking it as fixed, the second view is a rotation of the first.
  • Tracking the remaining faces shows G and F land on opposite faces.
  • Hence the face opposite G is F.

Additional Information

  • The same fixed-face method applies to letter dice as to numbered ones: find the face shown in both views and rotate around it.
  • A cube has three pairs of opposite faces, so identifying one pair often forces the others by elimination.
  • Faces that appear adjacent in any single view can never be opposite — that alone usually removes two options.
