Q: 42 (IAS/2007)
Six faces of a cube are numbered from 1 to 6, each face carrying one different number. Further,
1. The face 2 is opposite to the face 6.
2. The face 1 is opposite to the face 5.
3. The face 3 is between the face 1 and the face 5.
4. The face 4 is adjacent to the face
2.
Which one of the following is correct?

0,8,4,8,2,2,0

keywords: 

{'faces': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cube': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'face': [0, 0, 7, 2], 'different number': [0, 0, 1, 2]}

The question is based on the arrangement of numbers on a cube. Each statement provides a clue about the relative positions of certain faces to each other.

Option 1: The face 2 is adjacent to the face 3. Since face 3 sits between 1 and 5, and faces 2 and 6 are opposites, 2 should be adjacent to face 3, making this option correct.

Option 2: The face 6 is between face 2 and face 4. This can`t be correct because face 6 is opposite to face 2, therefore they can`t be adjacent.

Option 3: The face 1 is between the face 5 and the face 6. This is incorrect because face 1 is stated to be opposite face 5, so they can`t be adjacent.

Option 4: None of the above. This option would be correct only if all the other three options were incorrect. But, option 1 is correct so this is incorrect.

Thus, option 1 is the correct answer.
