Question

A transparent square sheet shown above is folded along the dotted line. The folded sheet will look like_______________.

Correct answer (C) [figure] Solution When the transparent square sheet is folded along the vertical dotted line from right to left, the pattern on the right half is mirrored onto the left half. The original pattern consists of a vertical line on the left and two diagonal lines forming a 'V' shape on the right. When folded, the 'V' shape will be reflected across the dotted line and superimposed on the left half. This results in the pattern shown in option (C). Turn this into a strength.
