 | Arun Sharma answered |
There'd no such digit which can't end in a cube of a natural number. Hence a cube of a natural number can end with any digit.
1³= 1 (ends with 1)
2³= 8 (ends with 8)
3³= 27 (ends with 7)
4³= 64 (ends with 4)
5³= 125 (ends with 5)
6³= 216 (ends with 6)
7³= 343 (ends with 3)
8³= 512 (ends with 2)
9³= 729 (ends with 9)
0³= 0 (ends with 0)
Hence the last digits are 0,1,8,7,4,5,6,3,2,9
Therefore we see every digits are last digits of these cubes. Hence a cube of a natural number can end with any digit.

Understanding Perfect Cubes
To make a number a perfect cube, all the prime factors in its prime factorization must have exponents that are multiples of 3.
Prime Factorization of 5400
1. Start by breaking down 5400 into its prime factors:
- 5400 = 54 × 100
- 54 = 2 × 27 = 2 × 3^3
- 100 = 10^2 = 2^2 × 5^2
- Therefore, 5400 = 2^3 × 3^3 × 5^2
Analyzing Exponents
2. The prime factorization of 5400 is:
- 2^3
- 3^3
- 5^2
3. Now, check the exponents:
- For 2: exponent is 3 (already a multiple of 3)
- For 3: exponent is 3 (already a multiple of 3)
- For 5: exponent is 2 (not a multiple of 3)
Finding the Smallest Multiplier
4. To convert the exponent of 5 from 2 to the next multiple of 3:
- The next multiple of 3 is 3.
- Hence, we need to increase the exponent of 5 by 1 (from 2 to 3).
5. Therefore, we must multiply 5400 by 5^1, which equals 5.
Conclusion
Thus, the smallest number by which 5400 must be multiplied to become a perfect cube is 5.

- When the given sheet depicted in the figure (X) is folded to form a hollow cube, the two half-shaded faces will lie opposite to each other, the face that features a square will lie opposite to one of the two blank faces in the sheet given, and the face with a circle will lie opposite to the other blank face in the sheet.
- So, the hollow cubes shown in the figure (2) and figure (3) that have two half-shaded faces that are adjacent to each other, is not possible to be made by folding the sheet depicted in the figure (X).
- Although the hollow cube depicted in the figure (4) has faces that may appear to be adjacent to each other but the hollow cube formed by folding the given sheet in the figure (X) cannot be rotated to form the hollow cube in the figure(4).
- Therefore, only the hollow cube in figure(1) is possible.

Therefore, five dots are on face opposite one dot.
One dot, three dots and five dots are on the faces adjacent to two dots.
From the second view of the cube it is clear that four dots are on the face adjacent to two dots.
Therefore, six dots are on the face opposite two dots.

On the basis of following pattern in given dices , we can say that
The numbers 2, 4, 5 and 6 cannot be on the face opposite to 3.
The numbers 1, 3, 4 and 6 cannot be on the face opposite to 5.
Therefore, 2 lies opposite 5.
Clearly, 4 lies opposite 6.

as per the question, sum of the numbers on opposite sides or faces is always 7. Therefore
1 appears opposite 6,
2 appears opposite 5 and
3 must appears opposite of 4.
In (a) 1 cannot adjacent to 6 In (b) 3 cannot adjacent to 4 In (d) 2 cannot appears adjacent to 5 Hence only option (c) is correct.

As we can see that ,
The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6 lie on the faces adjacent to the number 5.
Therefore, the number 5 lies opposite 4.
The numbers 1, 2, 3 and 6 lie on the faces adjacent to the number 5.
Therefore, the number 5 lies opposite 4.

There are total 42 cubes present in the upper portion.
Then total cubes be 42 × 2 = 84
Second method to find out the number of cubes/blocks.
24 columns with 2 cubes each = 24 × 2 = 48
14 columns with 2 cubes each = 28
4 columns with 2 cubes each = 8
Total cubes = 48 + 28 + 8 = 84
Then total cubes be 42 × 2 = 84

as number 6 position is same in both the figures. We can assume that the dice to be rotated so that 6 remains on the same face and 1,3,4 and 5 will be arranged ascending order as all are adjacent to 6. Hence, when 3 is in top, 5 will be at bottam.
