The paper pattern below is folded along its lines into a cube. Which letter ends up opposite G?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → E
When a sheet like this is folded into a cube, two squares in a straight line with one square between them become opposite faces, and the two squares on either side of the column of four fold onto the two side faces, which are also opposite. In the picture each pair has its own colour.
C and A: one square between them in the column
M and K: one square between them in the column
E and G: on the two sides of the column of four
So the face opposite G is E.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) C — Incorrect. C is opposite A (one square between them in the column).
Option (3) K — Incorrect. K is opposite M (one square between them in the column).
Option (4) A — Incorrect. A is opposite C (one square between them in the column).
