Cubes and dices appear in competitive exams like railways, IBPO, CAT, CMAT, bank po etc. For cubes and dices questions the candidates should be able to imagine the 3-D figures with the help of 2-D description and blueprint. These types of questions put stress on your mind, but it will be a lot easier when you have developed that particular skill of visualizing figures through the visual bent of your mind.

   number of top faces between there two sets?

       a. 0

       b. 2

       c. 4

       d. 6

 

Directions for questions 7 to 10: The following questions are based on the information given below:

    1. There is a cuboid whose dimensions are 4 x 3 x 3 cm.

       a. 10

       b. 12

       c. 14

       d. 18

 

Answer & Explanations

 

1. Option (d). Exp: In first two positions of dice one common face containing 5 is same. Therefore
    according to rule no. (3) the face opposite to the face which contains 2 point, will contains 6 points.

2. Option (a). Exp: The colours adjacent to yellow are orange, blue, red and rose. Hence violet will be
    opposite to yellow.

3. Option (c). Exp: 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.

4. Option (c). Exp:  Even numbered dice are: (II),(IV) and (VI)

         No. of dots on the top face of (II) dice = 6

         No. of dots on the top face of (IV) dice = 6

         and No. of dots on the top face of (VI) dice = 6

         Therefore Required total = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18

5. Option (a). Exp: Odd numbered dice are : (II),(III) and (V)

    No. of dots on the top faces of these dice are 2, 2 and 4 respectively.

    Required total = 2 + 2 + 4 = 8

6. Option(d). Exp: No. of faces on the top faces of the dice (I),(II) and (III) are 5, 1 and 5 respectively.

   Therefore, Total of these numbers = 5 + 1 + 5 = 11

   No. of dots on the top faces of the dice (IV),(V) and (VI) are 1, 3 and 1 respectively.

   Therefore, Total of these numbers = 1 + 3 + 1 = 5

   Required difference = 11 - 5 = 6.

7. Option (c). Exp:   

   

    Number of small cubes having only two faces coloured = 6 from the front + 6 from the back + 2 from
    the left + 2 from the right = 16.

8. Optin (d). Exp:

   

   Such cubes are related to the corners of the cuboid and there are 8 corners.

   Hence, the required number is 8.

9. Option (b). Exp:

   

    Number of small cubes have no face coloured = (4 - 2) x (3 - 2) = 2 x 1 = 2.

10. Option (a). Exp:

            

        Number of small cubes having only one face coloured = 2 x 2 + 2 x 2 + 2 x 1

                                                                                                = 4 + 4 + 2

                                                                                                = 10

Freshersworld provides students or job seekers with the tricks and tips, cubes and dices problems with solutions and practice questions. What is difference between cube and dice? A cube is a geometric shape -- a hexahedron -- in which there are 6 square faces. Dice are polyhedral objects used as random number generators. What number must be added to the set 6, 16 and 8 to get an average of 13? 22 must be added to 6, 16, and 8 to get an average of 13.
