Question

A paper is folded and punched as shown below. How will it appear when unfolded?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

Answer:

D. D

Step 1: First fold

•⁠ ⁠The paper is folded horizontally upward along the dotted line.

Bottom half comes over the top.

Step 2: Second fold

•⁠ ⁠Then it is folded vertically to the right.

Left side comes over the right.

So now the paper is folded into 4 layers (a quarter of the original sheet)

Step 3: Punch

•⁠ ⁠A symbol is punched on the top visible layer.

Step 4: Unfolding logic

Unfold in reverse order:

1.⁠ ⁠Unfold vertical fold

→ The figure gets mirrored horizontally (left-right mirror)

2.⁠ ⁠Unfold horizontal fold

→ The figure gets mirrored vertically (top-bottom mirror)

Final pattern:

You will get 4 figures:

•⁠ ⁠Top-left: original

•⁠ ⁠Top-right: horizontal mirror

•⁠ ⁠Bottom-left: vertical mirror

•⁠ ⁠Bottom-right: both mirrors

This creates a symmetrical arrangement with correct arrow directions and square positions.

Checking options:

Only Option D matches:

•⁠ ⁠Correct mirror directions

•⁠ ⁠Correct orientation of arrows

•⁠ ⁠Correct placement of squares

Correct Answer: D
