A piece of paper is folded and punched as shown below in the question figures. From the given answer figures, indicate how it will appear when opened.
Fold sequence: A square paper is folded diagonally to form a triangle, then folded once more into a smaller triangle, and a punch/cut is made near the center corner.
- AA square paper with a single diamond cut in the center.
- BA square paper with four symmetric cuts near the diagonal axes.
- CA square paper with two circular holes.
- DA square paper with a single circular hole in the middle.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's trace the unfolding steps of the paper:
The paper is folded along the diagonals into quarters.
A punch/cut made at the inner-most corner (the center point of the square paper) will unfold symmetrically across all 4 quadrants.
This creates a single centralized symmetric diamond/rhombus shape right in the middle of the unfolded sheet.
This corresponds perfectly to Option A.
