INTRODUCTION
In this Chapter we will discuss problems based on paper cutting and paper folding.
Paper cutting: In this type of questions, a set of three figures showing in which a piece of paper is folded first and
followed by a cut than the examinee has to select one of the figures from the set of four alternative figures which would
most closely resemble the pattern when the paper is unfolded.
Paper Folding: The problems based on paper folding are such that the examinee has to select a figure from the four
alternatives which will be closely resemble the pattern that would be formed when a Sheet ( basically a Transparent
sheet ) is folded alone a dotted line carrying any design or figure.
Let’s have a look on Examples:
Example of PAPER CUTTING
(1) (2) (3)

(a) (b) (c) (d)

(S.S.C)

Solution : Option (b) As the paper is folded to one fourth of the portion, and a cut ( in the shape of diamond) is
present to the middle of the right most corner. Once it open, option (b) figure follows the pattern.
Example of PAPER FOLDING
Transparent Sheet
(1)

Response Figure
(a) (b) (c) (d)

Solution : option (a) as the transparent figure consists a diagram of heart shape , when folded along the dotted line ,
the lines of the heart overlapped with each other and appears as a single line figure. So option (a) is the answer of the
figure.
