A piece of paper is folded and then holes are punched in it, as shown in the Question Figures. From the given Answer Figures, indicate how it will appear when opened.
Question Figures :
To determine how the paper will appear when it is opened, we need to visualize the folding and punching process:
-
Observe the fold line shown in the question figure. This indicates the way the paper is folded.
-
Notice the location and pattern of the holes punched into the folded paper. These holes will create a symmetric pattern when the paper is unfolded because paper folding produces mirror images along the fold line.
-
Carefully examine the options and identify the one that shows a symmetric pattern of holes corresponding to the punch pattern in the folded paper. The symmetry should match across the fold line.
The correct answer figure is determined by unfolding the paper and ensuring the holes create a symmetric pattern. The correct Answer Figure capturing this is shown below:
Thus, the correct option is the first one.
