Question

A sheet of paper has been folded in different steps as shown in the question figure. How does the paper look when it is opened? Select one of the options given.

1. A. 1
2. B. 2
3. C. 3 (Correct answer)
4. D. 4

Correct Answer

Option C — 3

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 3.

Key Points

• Paper folding questions test spatial visualisation.
• When a sheet is folded in steps and then punched or cut, unfolding it reveals a symmetric pattern based on the fold lines.
• The key is to trace each fold in reverse: the last fold is unfolded first, doubling the pattern, and so on.
• Counting the fold-lines and their directions gives the final unfolded shape, which matches option 3.
