Show Hint
A
B
C
D
The Correct Option is A, B
Approach Solution - 1
Step 2: By folding the net, Option B is the only one that correctly matches the folded configuration, where all sides align as shown in the net.
Step 3: Thus, the correct folded cube is Option B.
Approach Solution -2
The unfolded net shown is a cross-shaped layout of six squares: a horizontal row carrying the marks "I," "O," "W," and "M" in that order, with two more squares, marked with squiggle-like symbols, attached above and below the "O" square. To fold this correctly, it helps to first work out which faces end up opposite each other, since two opposite faces can never both be visible at once on a folded cube.
In the row of four squares (I, O, W, M), folding a strip of four into a cube always makes the 1st and 3rd squares opposite each other, and the 2nd and 4th squares opposite each other. So here, "I" is opposite "W," and "O" is opposite "M."
The two squares attached above and below "O" become the top and bottom faces of the cube once folded, and since they sit directly across from each other in the net, they are opposite each other.
Any answer option that shows two OPPOSITE faces together (I with W, O with M, or the two squiggle faces together) is not physically possible, since opposite faces of a cube are never visible from the same viewpoint.
Checking the four options against this, only one option shows two genuinely adjacent faces, correctly oriented the way they would appear coming off this net, without any face rotated the wrong way.
So the folded cube shown correctly is Option A.

- 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? \
