A dice has its faces marked by numbers 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24. Two positions of the same dice are shown. In the first position, faces 4, 8, and 16 are visible. In the second position, faces 4, 8, and 12 are visible. Which face is opposite to face 16?
- A4
- B8
- C24
- D12
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Comparing the two given positions of the dice, the numbers 4 and 8 are common to both positions.
According to the rules of dice, when two positions of the same dice have two common faces, the remaining unmatched faces on both positions are opposite to each other.
Therefore, the face with the number 16 is directly opposite to the face with the number 12.
