The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
Step 1: Visualize how the paper is folded and cut. Each fold alters the final shape and affects the pattern formed by the cuts.
Step 2: After folding and cutting, unfold the paper to determine which option matches the resulting pattern.
Step 3: Option (C) matches the resultant unfolded paper from the cut and fold process.
Step 2: After folding and cutting, unfold the paper to determine which option matches the resulting pattern.
Step 3: Option (C) matches the resultant unfolded paper from the cut and fold process.

Approach Solution -2
The strip is folded into equal accordion-style panels, so whatever notch or diamond shape gets cut from the folded stack repeats identically across every single panel once the strip is opened back out, same size, same shape, same spacing, with only the alternating fold direction affecting which way each repeat faces. Any option that breaks this strict, evenly repeating pattern cannot be the correct unfolded result.
- Option A: Most of the panels repeat the cut shape correctly, but one panel's diamond is a different size from the rest, breaking the strict repetition every panel should share.
- Option B: One of the diamond shapes here sits noticeably off its expected height compared with its neighbours, breaking the even spacing the accordion fold should produce.
- Option C: Every panel repeats the same diamond shape at the same size and the same alternating height, exactly as a strict accordion fold with a single repeated cut would produce.
- Option D: At least one panel is missing its diamond cut-out entirely, which would only happen if that panel had been folded or cut differently from the rest.
Only option C keeps the identical, evenly repeating diamond pattern across every single panel that the accordion fold and single cut should produce.
So the correct answer is Option C.

- A bank needs to upgrade its ATM kiosks to be wheel-chair accessible. An ATM kiosk entrance has four steps rising up to reach the floor level of the kiosk. Each step is 1000 mm in length, 300 mm in breadth, and 150 mm in height. The bank proposes to create a wheel-chair accessible ramp with a slope of 1:12, adjacent to the steps. What is the minimum horizontal length of the ramp in metre? \
