Six numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 8 and 9 are written on different faces of a dice. Two positions of this dice are shown in the figure. Which is the number on the face opposite to the face containing 8?

Correct Option: 2

Step-by-step Explanation:

From the given image, we are presented with two different positions of the same dice containing the numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9 on its faces.


Position 1: Shows faces with numbers 1, 6, and 8.
Position 2: Shows faces with numbers 1, 5, and 2.

Notice that the number 1 is common to both positions.

We can rotate clockwise around the common face (1) in both positions to find the opposite pairs:

1. In Position 1, moving clockwise starting from 1: 1 → 6 → 8.
2. In Position 2, moving clockwise starting from 1: 1 → 5 → 2.

By comparing the clockwise sequence from both positions:
- The face opposite to 6 is 5.
- The face opposite to 8 is 2.

Therefore, the number on the face opposite to the face containing 8 is 2.
