In the following question, a figure is shown representing a sheet of paper with specific fold marks. After the indicated folds are made, the paper may be punched or cut. You are required to identify how the paper will appear when it is completely folded or unfolded.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
When the paper is completely unfolded, the cuts will reflect across all four symmetric sections of the square:
• Center: The arc cut at the inner vertex (the center of the original square) forms a complete central circle.
• Edges: The V-shaped notch cut on the base edge appears once on each of the four outer sides, creating four inward V-notches.
• Small Holes: The two small circular punches on either side of the notch appear on all four sides, resulting in a total of 8 small circles (2 along each edge).
Hence, Option (C) is the correct unfolded figure.
