Choose the box that is similar to the box formed from the given sheet of paper (Y).
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) →
When a sheet like (Y) is folded into a box, two squares with one square between them in a straight line become opposite faces, and opposite faces are never seen together. In (Y):
X and @ lie in the long column with one square between them, so X and @ are opposite
The blank square above X and the blank square below X (the one # is attached to) are opposite
# on the left and the blank square on the right of X fold to the two side faces, so # is opposite a blank face
So on the box, X and @ are opposite each other, # is next to both of them, and the other three faces are blank. Option (1) shows X on top and # in front, two neighbouring faces, with a blank face beside them.
Options (2) and (4) show X and @ together, which opposite faces never are. Option (3) shows three blank faces, but two of the blanks are opposite, so at most two blank faces can be seen at once.
