In problems involving cubes and dice, we are required to analyse the situation in respect of the following aspects.
- Counting the number of cubes in a figure.
- Counting the number of painted faces of cubes formed by cutting a solid cube or cuboid in a specific manner.
- Construction of the cubical boxes.
- Analysing the positions of a dice.
Point wise analysis of these aspects is to be the subject matter of this chapter.
Counting the number of cubes in a figure
Example 1: Count the number of cubes in the following figure.
Solution: Clearly, we have four columns containing one cube each, three columns containing two cubes each two columns containing three cubes each. Thus, the total number of cubes
= ( 4 × 1 ) + ( 3 × 2 ) + ( 2 × 3 ) = 4+6+6 = 16.
Example 2: Count the number of cubes in the following figure.
Solution: Here, we have 4 columns containing 2 cubes each, 4 columns containing 3 cubes each and 1 column containing 4 cubes. Thus, the total number of cubes
= ( 4 × 2 ) + ( 4 × 3 ) + ( 1 × 4 ) = 8+12+4 = 24

Question 1 of 30
1. Question
1 pointsThe sheet of paper shown in the figure (X) given on the left hand side, in each problem, is folded to form a box. Choose from amongst the alternatives (1), (2), (3) and (4), the boxes that are similar to the box that will be formed.
Choose the box that is similar to the box formed from the given sheet of paper (X).
Correct
The fig. (X) is similar to Form V. So, when the sheet shown in fig. (X) is folded to form a cube, then the face with shading lies opposite to the free bearing a square, the face bearing a dot lies opposite to a blank face and the face bearing a circle (with a '+' sign inside it) lies opposite to another blank face. The cubes in figures (2) and (4) have the shaded face adjacent to the face bearing a square. Therefore, the cubes in these two figures cannot be formed. Hence, only cubes in figures (1) and (3) can be formed.

From positions X and Y we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4. From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5 lie adjacent to 6. Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and consequently 5 lies opposite 3.
As analysed above, 1 lies opposite 6.

Question 26 of 30
26. Question
1 pointsThree different positions X, Y and Z of a dice are shown in the figures given below. Which number lies at the bottom face in position X?
Correct
From positions X and Y we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4. From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5 lie adjacent to 6. Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and consequently 5 lies opposite 3.
As analysed above, the number on the face opposite 5 is 3. In position X, since 5 lies on the top, therefore 3 must lie at the bottom face.

Question 28 of 30
28. Question
1 pointsTwo positions of a block are given below. When 1 is at the top, which number will be at the bottom?
Correct
Number 2 is common to the two positions of the dice. We assume the dice in fig. (ii) to be rotated so that 2 remains on the top face (i.e. face V as per activity 1) and the numbers 3 and 6 move to the faces hidden behind 5 and 1 respectively [in fig. (i)]. Then, clearly, 5 lies opposite 3 and 6 lies opposite 1. Hence, when 1 is at the top, then 6 will be at the bottom.

Question 30 of 30
30. Question
1 pointsTwo positions of a dice are shown below. Identify the number at the bottom when the top is '3'?
Correct
The number 6 is common to both the positions of the dice. We assume the dice in fig. (ii) to be rotated so that 6 remains on the FR-LH face (i. e. on face IV as per activity 1) and the numbers 1 and 3 move to the faces hidden behind 4 and 5 respectively [in fig. (i)]. Then, 5 lies on FR-RH face (i.e. face I), 4 lies on Top face {i.e. face V), 3 lies on RR-LH face (i.e. face III) and 1 lies on Bottom face (i.e. face VI). Thus, 3 lies opposite 5. Hence, when the top is 3, then the number at the bottom is 5.
