Which of the following 3D shapes can be formed by folding the given 2D net?

This question was previously asked in
SSC Stenographer 2025 Question Paper (06-Aug-2025) Shift 2
The correct answer is
Pyramid

To determine which 3D shape can be formed by folding the given 2D net, let's analyze the structure of the net:

  1. The net shows a square base with four triangular flaps attached to each side of the square.
  2. When folding this net, each triangular flap will rise up and meet at a single point above the base.
  3. This arrangement of a square base and four triangular faces meeting at a single point is characteristic of a pyramid.

Therefore, the correct 3D shape that can be formed is a pyramid.

Let's examine why other options do not fit:

  • Cube: A cube requires six square faces, which this net does not provide.
  • Cuboid: A cuboid also involves rectangular faces and does not match the triangular and square combination of the net.
  • Tetrahedron: A tetrahedron is made up of four triangular faces, but this net has a square and four triangles, not suitable for forming a tetrahedron.

Thus, the only correct answer is a pyramid.
