Cubes and Dice - Verbal and Reasoning
Directions to SolveThe sheet of paper shown in the figure (X) given on the left hand side, in each problem, is folded to form a box. Choose from amongst the alternatives (1), (2), (3) and (4), the boxes that are similar to the box that will be formed.
A
1 only
B
1 and 3 only
C 1, 3 and 4 only
D
1, 2, 3 and 4
ANS:C - 1, 3 and 4 only When the sheet in fig. (X) is folded, then one of the faces of the cube formed will be of the form Share : |
and this face will lie opposite the face bearing a square. Also, one of the blank faces lies opposite another blank face and the third blank face lies opposite the face bearing an '=' sign. Clearly, all the three blank faces cannot appear adjacent to each other. So, the cube shown in fig. (2) which has all the three blank faces adjacent to each other cannot be formed. Hence, only the cubes shown in figures A, C and D can be formed.
