Figure (A) has the numbers 1 and 6 on adjacent faces, figure (8) has numbers 3 and 5 on adjacent faces and the figure (C) has the numbers 2 and 4 on the adjacent faces, So, these three alternatives are not Possible. Since, the numbers 1,3 and 4 can appear on adjacent faces, $0 figure (D) is possible, Hence, only the box shown in figure D Can be formed by folding figure}. 112, When the sheet in figure(y) is folded toformabox (cube), then the dot and the shading must ie opposite to each ‘other.

Hence, only the cubes in figures (6) and (0) can be formes.

Also, one of the blank faces lies opposite to another blank face and yet another biank face lies opposite to the fourth blank face. Thus, out of the four blank faces, no three faces can appear adjacent to each other, Cleatly, the cube in figure {A) cannot be formed, since there is fo face of the type the cube in figure (@) cannot be formed, since it shows three blank faces adjacent to each ‘other and the cube in figure (C) cannot be formed, since the face figure cannot appear adjacent to the face bearing the circle.
