26. UST cubes & dice (1)Choose the box that is similar to the box
formed from the given sheet of paper (X). (Image)

A.1 only
B.2 only
C.1 and 3 only
D.1, 2, 3 and 4 only

Answer: B

Solution:
The fig. (X) is similar to the Form III. So, when the sheet in fig. (X) is
folded to form a cube, then ‘F’ appears opposite ‘B’, ‘E’ appears opposite
‘C’ and ‘A’ appears opposite ‘D’ Therefore, the cube in fig. (1) which shows
‘F’ adjacent to ‘B’ the cube in fig. (3) which shows ‘E’ adjacent to ‘C’ and
the cube in fig. (4) which shows ‘A‘ adjacent to ‘D’ cannot be formed.
Hence, only the cube in fig.(2) can be formed.

27. Choose the box that is similar to the box formed from the given
sheet of paper (X).UST cubes & dice (2) (Image)

A.1 and 3 only

B.2, 3 and 4 only
C.2 only
D.3 and 4 only

Answer: C

Solution:
The fig. (X) is similar to the Form I. So, when the sheet in fig. (X) is folded
to form a cube, then the completely shaded face lies opposite to the half
shaded face. Therefore, the cubes shown in figures (1) and (3)
which have the completely shaded face adjacent to the half-shaded face
cannot be formed. Since Fig 4 does’thave at-least one shaded face, it cannot
be formed. Hence, only the cubes in figure (2) can be formed.

28. Choose the box that is similar to the box formed from the given
sheet of paper (X).UST cubes & dice (3) (Image)

A.1 only
B.1, 2 and 3 only
C.2 and 3 only
D.1, 2, 3 and 4

Answer: D
Solution:
The fig. (X) is similar to the Form V. So, when the sheet in fig. (X) is folded
to form a cube, then the face bearing a dot appears opposite to a blank face,
the face bearing a ‘+’ sign appears opposite to another blank face and the
face bearing a circle appears opposite to the third blank face. Clearly, all the
four cubes shown in figures (1), (2), (3) and (4) can be formed.
