Question

A paper shown in Panel I is folded along the dashed lines (- - -) to construct a cube. The shaded regions shown in Panel I appear on the outer surface of the cube. Referring to cubes shown in Panel II, which one of the options is correct?
 

The correct answer is
Only (ii) can correspond to the unfolded cube in Panel I.

To solve this problem, we need to determine which cube configuration in Panel II can be constructed from the net provided in Panel I.

  1. First, observe the provided net in Panel I. It consists of six squares that will form the faces of the cube once folded. Notice the specific arrangement of shaded regions.
  2. When folding the net into a cube, each square will become one face of the cube. The challenge lies in visualizing the folding and matching shaded regions.
  3. Let's analyze each option:
    • Option (i): This configuration does not match the shaded pattern from the net in Panel I when folded. Specifically, the alignment and position of the shaded squares do not correspond correctly.
    • Option (ii): In this configuration, the shaded regions align perfectly with the possible folded arrangement of the net from Panel I. Each face of the cube corresponds to the expected pattern from the net.
  4. Thus, only option (ii) corresponds to the cube that can be formed from the net in Panel I.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Only (ii) can correspond to the unfolded cube in Panel I.
