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
In the net, the face with the hollow triangle () is in the centre. Its four neighbours are the solid circle (above), the hollow circle (below) and the two blank squares (left and right). The solid triangle () is two squares to the right of , so after folding it lands on the face opposite . Consequently the two blank faces are opposite each other, and the solid and hollow circles are opposite each other.Place on the front face and check each option:
- (A) Top = solid circle, right = blank. Both are neighbours of and they are not opposite each other, so this view is possible. Correct.
- (B) The right face shows , but is opposite and can never be seen next to it. Wrong.
- (C) Top and right are both blank, but the two blank faces are opposite each other, so they cannot be adjacent. Wrong.
- (D) The top shows , again adjacent to . Wrong.
