Three positions of a cube are shown below, what will come opposite to face containing ‘α’?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2017 (Tier 1) Previous Year Paper (16-Aug-2017) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

δ

In the first and the third diagram β, ¥, θ and η are adjacent to α.

Thus, the one opposite of α is δ.

Hence, the correct answer is δ.

Trick:

How to easily find the opposite faces:

Choose any 2 dices which have only one number in common.

After rotating the middle one, we get,

FIGURE

As in, II and III only θ is common.

Now move clockwise as per the dice.

In II, θ - δ - β 

In III, θ - α - η

So, we can observe that δ is opposite to α and β is opposite to η. 

Now the only θ is left, which will be the opposite of γ.

Note:

There was an ambiguity in the original question in the previous year's paper. We have modified the figure of the cube in the first position to remove this.
