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:

C. C

Let’s solve it step by step:

Folding:

1. First fold → along the horizontal line (downward)

2. Second fold → along the vertical line (to the right)
   So final folded piece is the bottom-right quarter.

   Punch:

• A triangle corner cut + a dot inside

• The triangle has a slanted side ( / ) and a horizontal base

  Unfolding:

• First unfold (vertical) → mirror left-right

• Second unfold (horizontal) → mirror top-bottom

So final figure must have:

• 4 copies

• Each is a mirror image

• Dot position and triangle orientation must change accordingly

Check options:

• A: All triangles look same → no mirroring

• B: Shapes mismatch (orientation inconsistent)

• C: Proper mirror symmetry both horizontally and vertically

• D: Only 2 shapes

Correct Answer: C

It correctly shows all four mirrored copies with proper triangle and dot orientation.
