A paper is folded and punched as shown below. How will it appear when unfolded?
AA
BB
CC
DD
Answer:
D. D
Read Explanation:
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
