A square sheet of paper is folded twice, first vertically and then horizontally. After folding, a small triangle is cut out from one corner of the folded paper. When the paper is completely unfolded, which of the following patterns will be seen on the sheet?![Screenshot 2025-05-08 003939.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/aptidude/image/upload/v1746645007/aptidude_questions/rd0ofii65zp93t9il1qo.png)

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's analyze the process step by step:

1. The paper is folded vertically, reducing the square to a rectangle.
2. It is then folded horizontally, making a smaller square (one-fourth the original size).
3. A triangle is cut from one corner of the folded paper. This corner, when unfolded, corresponds to the centers of the edges of the original square, not the corners.
4. When the paper is unfolded, the cut is replicated at all symmetrical positions created by the folds. Since the cut was made at the corner of the folded square (which is the center of the original square's edge), unfolding will produce four identical triangles, one at the center of each edge of the square.

Therefore, option 2 is correct.
