Question:
A square paper, shown in figure (I), is folded along the dotted lines as shown in figures (II) and (III). Then a few cuts are made as shown in figure (IV). Which one of the following patterns will be obtained when the paper is unfolded?
A square paper, shown in figure (I), is folded along the dotted lines as shown in figures (II) and (III). Then a few cuts are made as shown in figure (IV). Which one of the following patterns will be obtained when the paper is unfolded?
Show Hint
When solving paper folding problems, carefully analyze the folds and cuts. Unfold the paper mentally to predict the resulting pattern by considering symmetry and the effects of the cuts.

The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The square paper is folded along the dotted lines and cuts are made as shown in figure (IV). Upon unfolding, the pattern obtained should reflect the symmetrical nature of the folds and cuts. Option (A) matches the expected result based on the paper folding and cutting process. The other options do not match the expected pattern after unfolding.
