A cube painted blue on all faces is cut into 27 small cubes of equal size. How many small cubes are painted on one face only?

Detailed Solution: Question 1

The big cube can be cut into 27 small cubes as shown in the figure.
Number of cubes only one face painted = (m − 2)2 × 6
= (3 − 2)2 × 6 = (1)2 × 6 = 6.

Olympiad Test: Cubes and Dice - Question 2

A cube is painted red on all faces is cut into 27 small cubes of equal size then how many cubes are not painted on any face?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

There is only one cube which is not painted on any face. 

Olympiad Test: Cubes and Dice - Question 3

A cube of side 10cm is coloured green with a 2 cm wide red strip along all the sides on all the faces. The cube is cut into 125 smaller cubes of equal size then how many cubes are without any colour?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

There are 9 central cubes in three middle layers, which are without any colour.
∴ No. of cubes without any colour = 9 × 3 = 27 

Olympiad Test: Cubes and Dice - Question 4

How many dots are there on the dice face opposite the one with three dots? 

Detailed Solution: Question 4

From figures (i), (ii), (iv) we observe that 6, 4, 3, 1 lie adjacent to 2. Hence the number 5 will appear on the face showing 2.

Olympiad Test: Cubes and Dice - Question 5

Three positions of a dice are given. Based on them find out which number is found opposite the number 2 in the given cube.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

From figures (i) & (ii), it is clear that 1, 4, 3, 5 lie adjacent to number 6. So, number 2 lies opposite to 6.

Olympiad Test: Cubes and Dice - Question 6

In the given figure find the number of dots on the face opposite the face having 3 dots.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

From figures (i), (ii) and (iii), we conclude that 3, 4, 6 and 1 dots appear adjacent to 2 dots. Therefore, 5 dots appear opposite 2 dots. Now, from figures (i) and (iii), we conclude that 2, 4 and 1 dots appear adjacent to 3 dots. Therefore, either 5 or 6 dots appear opposite 3 dots. Since, 5 dots appear opposite 2 dots, it follows that 6 dots appear opposite 3 dots.

Olympiad Test: Cubes and Dice - Question 7

Two positions of a dice are shown. When 4 is at the bottom, what number will be on the top?

Detailed Solution: Question 7

From figure (i) & (ii) 2, 3, 5, 6 lie adjacent to 1. 4 lies opposite to 1.

Olympiad Test: Cubes and Dice - Question 10

Three different positions X, Y, Z of a dice are as shown below. 

Which number lies opposite to 6?

Detailed Solution: Question 10

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.

Olympiad Test: Cubes and Dice - Question 11

In the given figure, which number lies at the bottom face in position B?

Detailed Solution: Question 11

From positions A and B we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4. From positions A and B 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.
2 lies at the bottom face in position B.
