The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation


Concept: This is a
dice reasoning problem involving:
  • Identifying adjacent faces
  • Using multiple views to determine opposite faces
  • Rule: Opposite faces never appear together

Step 1: Observe faces with 2.
From given positions:
  • (i): 2 is adjacent to 6 and 4
  • (ii): 2 is adjacent to 3 and 4
  • (iv): 2 is adjacent to 1 and 3

Step 2: List adjacent faces of 2.
\[ \text{Adjacent to 2: } 1, 3, 4, 6 \]
Step 3: Find opposite face.
  • A dice has 6 faces
  • One face is 2, four are adjacent → remaining face is opposite
\[ \text{Remaining number} = 5 \]
Step 4: Option analysis.
  • (A) 1: Adjacent to 2 $\times$
  • (B) 3: Adjacent to 2 $\times$
  • (C) 4: Adjacent to 2 $\times$
  • (D) 5: Opposite face \checkmark
  • (E) 6: Adjacent to 2 $\times$

Conclusion:
Thus, the correct answer is
Option (D).
