The question consists of a set of three figures X, Y and Z showing a sequence of folding of a piece of paper. Figure Z shows the manner in which the folded paper has been cut. Choose a figure which would most closely resemble the unfolded form of figure Z.
B
In a paper folding-and-cutting problem, each cut made on the folded sheet reappears symmetrically about every fold line once the paper is opened out.
Figures X and Y show how the sheet is folded, and figure Z shows where the cut is made on the folded paper.
The method is to unfold the creases one at a time, mirroring the cut across each fold, which multiplies the single cut into a symmetric pattern of holes.
The unfolded pattern produced this way matches the option marked B.
Hence the unfolded form of figure Z is B.
