Question
The paper as shown in the figure is folded to make a cube where each square corresponds to a particular face of the cube. Which one of the following options correctly represents the cube?Note: The figures shown are representative.
Correct answer
(A) [figure]
Solution
The given figure is a net of a cube. Let's analyze the relative positions of the symbols with respect to the central face containing the Triangle ().From the net:
- The Triangle () is in the center.
- The Solid Circle () is directly above the Triangle.
- The Circle () is directly below the Triangle.
- The Empty Square is to the left of the Triangle.
- The Solid Triangle () is to the right of the Triangle.
- The Top face must be the Solid Circle.
- The Bottom face must be the Circle.
- The Left face must be the Empty Square.
- The Right face must be the Solid Triangle.
- (A) Shows the Triangle on the Front. The Top face is the Solid Circle. The Left face is the Empty Square. This matches the net perfectly.
- (B) Shows the Triangle on the Front. The Top face is an Empty Square (incorrect, should be Solid Circle). The Right face is the Solid Triangle (correct position, but Top is wrong).
- (C) Shows the Triangle on the Front. The Top face is an Empty Square (incorrect).
- (D) Shows the Triangle on the Front. The Top face is the Solid Triangle (incorrect). The Right face is the Solid Circle (incorrect).
