Question

The paper as shown in the figure is folded to make a cube where each square corresponds to a particular face of the cube. Which one of the following options correctly represents the cube?
Note: The figures shown are representative.
 

The correct answer is

To solve this problem, we need to analyze the unfolded cube net given in the figure and visualize how it folds to form a cube. This involves determining which squares (or faces) will be adjacent to each other when folded.

The cube net given in the figure consists of six connected squares, representing the six faces of a cube. Let's consider the relationships between the faces:

  1. The bottom square (with a circle) is adjacent to four other squares. These squares will form the sides of the cube.
  2. The topmost square (with a solid dot) is opposite to the bottom one (circle). They will not touch each other directly once folded, but they will be on opposite faces.
  3. The squares on the left (with a triangle-unfilled) and the right (with a triangle-filled) determine which two faces will be on adjacent sides.

Given these observations, we can conclude that:

  • The circle and dot are on opposite faces.
  • The filled triangle and unfilled triangle are adjacent to the face with the dot.

Based on the connections, the correct 3D representation of the cube, considering the adjacency, is the option where these relations hold true. Hence, the cube configuration corresponding correctly with the folded net is the first option:

This configuration correctly matches the spatial relationships deduced from the cube net.
