    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    From positions X and Y we conclude that 1, 5, 6 and 3 lie adjacent to 4. Therefore, 2 must lie opposite 4. From positions Y and Z we conclude that 4, 3, 2 and 5 lie adjacent to 6. Therefore, 1 must lie opposite 6. Thus, 2 lies opposite 4, 1 lies opposite 6 and consequently 5 lies opposite 3.

    Since 3 lies opposite 5 (as analysed above), it follows that 1, 4, 6 and 2 lie adjacent to 5. Out of these four numbers, the hidden numbers adjacent to 5 in position X are 6 and 2 and the hidden numbers adjacent to 5 in position Z are 1 and 4. Clearly, there is no number common.
