Practice Verbal Reasoning questions on Dice, covering dice positions, opposite and adjacent faces, identifying common faces, and determining the correct orientation from multiple views. Takes about 20-25 minutes and is useful for placement, TCS NQT, SSC, banking and MBA entrance exams.
Question 1
From the positions of a cube shown below, which letter will be on the face opposite to the face with 'L'?

four positions of a cube with a letter on each visible face
A
E✓✗
B
B✓✗
C
P✓✗
D
H✓✗
Explanation
The faces seen next to L in the figures are B, E, H, R. These are all adjacent to L, so the only remaining face, P, is opposite to it.
Question 2
From the positions of a cube shown below, which letter will be on the face opposite to the face with 'D'?

B
J✓✗
C
G✓✗
D

Explanation
The faces seen next to D in the figures are E, G, J, K. These are all adjacent to D, so the only remaining face, A, is opposite to it.
Question 3
From the positions of a cube shown below, which letter will be on the face opposite to the face with 'T'?

A
R✓✗
B
W✓✗
C
D✓✗
D
Z✓✗
Explanation
The faces seen next to T in the figures are D, J, R, W. These are all adjacent to T, so the only remaining face, Z, is opposite to it.
Question 4
Two positions of a cube with its surfaces numbered are shown below. When the surface 2 touches the bottom, what surface will be on the top?

A
4✓✗
B
3✓✗
C
1✓✗
D
6✓✗
Explanation
In the two positions the common face 4 is in the same position (right-side). So the faces in the matching positions are opposite each other: 5 is opposite 1 and 3 is opposite 2. Hence the face opposite 2 is 3.
Question 5
The numbered cube below is shown in two positions. If the face numbered 6 is placed at the bottom, which face will be on the top?

3✓✗
B
1✓✗
C
4✓✗
D
5✓✗
Explanation
In the two positions the common face 5 is in the same position (right-side). So the faces in the matching positions are opposite each other: 6 is opposite 3 and 1 is opposite 2. Hence the face opposite 6 is 3.
Question 6
Two positions of a cube with its surfaces numbered are shown below. When the surface 6 touches the bottom, what surface will be on the top?

A
4✓✗
B
3✓✗
C
5✓✗
D
2✓✗
Explanation
In the two positions the common face 1 is in the same position (top). So the faces in the matching positions are opposite each other: 6 is opposite 2 and 5 is opposite 3. Hence the face opposite 6 is 2.
Question 7
The dice below is shown in four positions. Which number of points lies on the face opposite to the face with 5 points?

four positions of a dice with dots on the faces
A
3✓✗
B
4✓✗
C
1✓✗
D
6✓✗
Explanation
Face 2 is next to 1, 3, 4 and 5 (in the figures), so 6 is the face opposite 2. Face 3 is next to 1, 2, 5 and 6, so 4 is the face opposite 3. The only pair left is 1 and 5, so 1 dot is opposite 5 dots.
Question 8
How many points will be on the face opposite to the face which contains 5 points?

A
6✓✗
B
3✓✗
C
4✓✗
D
2✓✗
Explanation
Face 2 is next to 5, 4, 1 and 3 (in the figures), so 6 is the face opposite 2. Because 6 is opposite 2, it is not opposite 5, so 6 is next to 5. Now 5 is next to 2, 4, 1 and 6, so the remaining face, 3 dots, is opposite 5 dots.
Question 9
How many points will be on the face opposite to the face which contains 2 points?

four positions of a dice with dots on the faces
A
6✓✗
B
5✓✗
C
4✓✗
D
3✓✗
Explanation
The faces seen next to 2 dots in the figures are 1 dot, 3 dots, 5 dots, 6 dots. These are all adjacent to 2 dots, so the only remaining face, 4 dots, is opposite to it.
Question 10
Two positions of a dice are shown below. Which number will appear on the face opposite to the face with the number 1?

A
4✓✗
B
3✓✗
C
2✓✗
D
6✓✗
Explanation
In the two positions the common face 3 is in the same position (top). So the faces in the matching positions are opposite each other: 6 is opposite 5 and 4 is opposite 1. Hence the face opposite 1 is 4.
Question 11
Two positions of a dice are shown below. Which number will appear on the face opposite to the face with the number 6?

Explanation
In the two positions the common face 4 is in the same position (right-side). So the faces in the matching positions are opposite each other: 2 is opposite 6 and 3 is opposite 1. Hence the face opposite 6 is 2.
Question 12
Two positions of a dice are shown below. Which number will appear on the face opposite to the face with the number 5?

Explanation
In the two positions the common face 3 dots is in the same position (front). So the faces in the matching positions are opposite each other: 4 dots is opposite 1 dot and 6 dots is opposite 2 dots. Hence the face opposite 4 dots is 1 dot.
Question 18
Two positions of a dice are shown below. How many points will appear on the face opposite to the face containing 1 point?
