Question 13

Six cubes with their upper faces erased are as shown.

 A
14
 B
18
 C
24
 D
12
Soln.
Ans: B

Consider this deduction:

  1. Dice 4 has 6 at its top because 2 and 4 are already visible.
  2. For dice 2 we know that the number 2 is opposite 5 because 2 + 5 = 7 is given. So, 2 and 4 are revealed, and, so number 6 is on its top as well.
  3. For dice 6 we know that the number 2 is opposite the face with number 5 because 2 + 5 = 7 is given. So the even number 6 will be on it's top.

The sum of the numbers on the tops of the even numbered faces is 6 + 6 + 6 = 18.

In a certain code language '0000 0001 0010 0011' means 'oeu bit oaz kid', '0100 0101 0010 0110' means 'goa oeu dos don', '0111 1110 0010 1111' means 'oeu cuk kag nop' and '1000 1001 1110 1110' means 'dil cil cuk cuk'. Then 'cuk oeu' is the code for which words?

1000 1001

 B

0011 1111

 C

1110 0010

 D

0100 0000

Soln.
Ans: C

'1110' is common to items 3 and 4. So '1110' = 'cuk'. Next we can see that '0010' is common to items 1 and 2 and 3. So '0010' = 'oeu'. Hence 'cuk oeu' should be '1110 0010' or '0010 1110'
