A paper is folded and cut as shown below. How will it appear when unfolded?
[Image displaying steps of a square piece of paper being folded twice and then specific geometric symmetric holes cut near the center or edges]
Correct Answer
A
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's trace the unfolding process step by step:
When the final folded quadrant is opened up horizontally, a mirror reflection of the punched patterns forms across the central vertical axis.
When unfolded vertically back to the complete square shape, a mirror image forms symmetrically across the horizontal centerline.
This creates a balanced, quadrant-symmetric distribution of shapes matching the configuration shown in Option A.
