In a dice, each face is numbered as follows: 

1) 2 is adjacent to 3 

2) 3 is opposite to 1 

3) 5 is opposite to 4 

4) 6 is adjacent to 3 

Which of the following is definitely true?

A) 2 is between 4 and 3 

B) 2 is adjacent to 6 

C) 3 is between 2 and 6 

D) 1 is between 3 and 5

The correct answer is

C

Dice Relationships Analysis

We are given the following properties of a dice:

  • 1) 2 is adjacent to 3.
  • 2) 3 is opposite to 1.
  • 3) 5 is opposite to 4.
  • 4) 6 is adjacent to 3.

We need to determine which statement is definitely true based on these conditions.

Evaluating the Options

Let's analyze each option:

  • A) 2 is between 4 and 3: This means 2 is adjacent to both 4 and 3. We know 2 is adjacent to 3 (given). However, we don't have information relating 2 and 4 directly. 4 is opposite to 5, and 3 is opposite to 1. This doesn't guarantee 2 is adjacent to 4.
  • B) 2 is adjacent to 6: We know 2 is adjacent to 3 and 6 is adjacent to 3. This means 2 and 6 are neighbours of 3. However, they could be adjacent to each other (e.g., if they are on adjacent sides of face 3) or not adjacent (e.g., if they are on opposite sides of face 3). This is not definitely true.
  • C) 3 is between 2 and 6: This means 3 is adjacent to both 2 and 6. Statement (1) says "2 is adjacent to 3", and statement (4) says "6 is adjacent to 3". Both conditions are directly given, so 3 is definitely adjacent to both 2 and 6. This statement is definitely true.
  • D) 1 is between 3 and 5: This means 1 is adjacent to both 3 and 5. Statement (2) explicitly states "3 is opposite to 1". Opposite faces cannot be adjacent. Therefore, this statement is definitely false.

Conclusion

Based on the direct analysis of the given statements, only option C is necessarily true.
