PAPER FOLDING & CUTTING

PAPER FOLDING

The problems on paper folding involve the

process of selecting a figure which would most

nearly match the pattern that would be formed

when a transparent sheet carrying designs on

either side of a dotted line is folded along this

line. The figure has to be selected from a set of

four alternatives (answer or response figures).


8/49



INDIA)



PH.(0522)4026913,98381622638

Ex 1. In the following questions problems, a square

transparent sheet with a pattern is given. Figure

out from amongst four alternatives as to how the

pattern would appear when the transparent sheet

is folded at the dotted line.

(X)

(A) (B) (C) (D)

Sol.[B] Clearly, the lower half of the square sheet has

been folded over the upper half. Hence, the bent

line in the lower half will be inverted overt the

other half so that a V shaped figure is formed

PAPER CUTTING

The problems on paper cutting contain a set of

three figures showing the manner in which a

piece of paper has been folded. In each of the

first two figures, a dotted line together with an

arrow on it has been given indicating the line

along which the paper is to be folded and the

direction of the fold respectively. In the third

figure, there are marks showing the position and

nature of the cut made in the folded sheet. The

candidate has to select one of the figures from

the set of four answer figures A, B, C and D,

that would most nearly match the pattern when

the paper is unfolded. It will be interested to see

that the designs of the cut will appear on each

fold made in the paper.

Ex.2 Consider the following three figures, marked X,

Y, Z showing one fold in X, another in Y and

cut in Z. From amongst the answer figure A, B,

C and D, select the one, showing the unfolded

position of Z.

X Y Z

(A) (B) (C) (D) Sol.[C] In figure X, the upper triangular half of the

paper has been folded over the lower half. In

figure Y, the paper is refolded to a quarter

triangle. In figure Z, a square has been punched

in the folded paper. Clearly, the square will

appear in each of the triangular quarters of the

paper. Thus, when the paper isis unfolded, four

squares will appear symmetrically over it and it

will resemble figure (C).

EXERCISE

Directions : (1 to 6)A square transparent sheet with a

pattern is given in figure X. Find out from

amongst the alternatives as to how the pattern

would appear when the transparent sheet is

folded at the dotted line.

CLASSIFICATION

In these type of questions, four figures

numbered (A), (B), (C) and (D) are given.

These are treated both problem figures as well

as the answer figures. Three out of these four

figures are related to each other by way ofhaving some common characteristics and so

form a group. Out of these four, you have to

identify one figure which does not belong to

group.

Ex.1

(A) (B) (C) (D)

Sol. (C) Both the arrow heads are in the same

direction in figure (C). In all other figures. they

are in the opposite direction. Hence (C) is the

answer.

Ex.2

(A) (B) (C) (D)

Sol. (D) Between the shaded portion and the arrow,

there are two triangles in figure (A), (B), (C)

and (D).

Ex.3

(A) (B) (C) (D)

Sol. (C) Figures (A) and (D) form a group. The bars

are interchanged here. Similarly, figures (B) and

(D) Hence (C) is the odd one out.

Many types of questions are possible based on

the above pattern. For instance, geometrical

figures like formation of parallel lines,

perpendicular lines, triangles, squares, etc. by

taking numbers in order.

Ex 1. Fill the blanks from the choices given below129 : 145 : : 3811 ?

(A) 3713 (B) 328

(C) 3615 (D) 3614

Sol.[D] There are two groups of numbers. The numbers

on the right hand side must have the same

relation as the numbers on the left hand side 129

and 145, in the above pyramid, form a pattern.


40/49



INDIA)

Corporate Office:

Hence the number in the blank on the right hand

side must form same pattern with 3811.

Therefore, the answer is 3615 which forms the

pattern.

Ex.2 Fill the blank from the choices given below

2812 : 765 : : 91123 : ?

(A) 121110 (B) 121314

(C) 122132 (D) 303132

Sol.[B] The two numbers on the left hand side form

perpendicular lines in the pyramid. Therefore,

the numbers on the right hand side must be of

the same pattern. The answer to the above

question should be 121314 to satisfy the same

relation.

Ex.3 Fill the blank from the choices given below .

234 : 4614 : : 2812 : ?

(A) 3713 (B) 34614

(C) 121314 (D) 131415

Sol.[C] The numbers on the left-hand side form two

sides of a square. The numbers have been

chosen in continuity. 2812 and 121314 are in

continuity and form the other two sides of the

same square.

Ex.4 Fill the blank from the choice given below :

507986 : 772112 : : 537689 : ?

(A) 745742 (B) 735841

(C) 716039 (D) 755643

Sol.[A] Hence two numbers on the left-hand side form

perpendicular lines. Therefore, the numbers on

the right-hand side must form the same point,

taking numbers in order. Hence the answer is

745742.

Ex.5 Fill the blank from the choices given below,

322120 : 321920 : : 324342 : ?

(A) 324142 (B) 324132

(C) 323143 (D) 323319

Sol.[A] The numbers on the left-hand side form a

triangle. Therefore, the numbers on the right-

hand side must form a triangle with common

point 32. Hence, the answer is 324142.

DOT SITUATION

The problems on dot situation involve the

search of similar conditions in the alternative

figures as indicated in the problem figure. The

problem figure contains dots placed in the

spaces enclosed between the combinations of

square, triangle, rectangle and circle. Selecting

one of these dots we observe the region in

which this dot in enclosed i.e. to which of the

four figures (circle, square, rectangle and

triangle) is this region common. then we look

for such a region in the four alternatives. Once

we have found it. We repeat the procedure for

other dots, if any. The alternative figure which

contains all such regions is the answer.

Direction : (9 to 11) In each of the following questions

there is a diagram marked (X), with one or more

dost placed in it. The diagram is followed by

four other figures, marked (A), (B), (C) and (D)

only one of which is such as to make possible

the placement of the alternative in each case.

(D)

Sol.[A] In figure (X), one of the dots is placed in the

region common to the circle and the triangle and

the other dot is placed in the region common to

the triangle and the square. From amongst the

figures (A), (B), (C) and (D), only figure (A)

has both the regions, one common to circle and

triangle and the other common to triangle and

square.

Ex.11

(x)

(B)

(C)

(D)

Sol.[C] Figure (X), contains one dot in the square only,

another dot in the region common to the square

and the triangle only and the third dot in the

region common to the circle and the triangle.

Figure (A) does contain a region which lies in

the square alone. Figures (B) and (D) do not

contain any region common to the circle and the

triangle. Only figure (C) contains all the three

types of regions.

EMBEDDED FIGURE

A figure (X) is said to be embedded in a figure

Y, if figure Y contains figure (X) as its part.

thus problem on embedded figures contain a

figure (X) followed by four complex figures in

such a way that figure (X) is embedded in one

of these. The figure containing the figure (X) is

your answer.

Direction : (12 to 13)In each of the following questions,
