• ans is 2
  paint on one side of d cube.... the condition given here is wen on suitable rotation the paint is carried to another which means when a face is turned the adjent side havin the same paint is same... so all the 5 sides will b adjacent to one side... one will b exactly opposite to that side
  selecting one adjacent side== 1 way
  selecting the opposite one== 2nd way
  so total== 2 ways

• Total face=6(as it is a cube)
  choose 1 face in 6C1=6 ways .
  now out of 5 faces choose 1 face in 5C1=5 ways .
  This can be done by 6*5=30 ways.

• Ans-6
  
  1 side can painted in 6c1=6 ways
