Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: Figures 1 and 3 only.
Key observations:
The two half-shaded faces are opposite each other when the net is folded.
The face with the circle is opposite one of the blank faces.
The two remaining blank faces are opposite each other.
Check each figure:
Figure 1: Matches all opposite-face relationships (half-shaded faces opposite, circle opposite a blank, remaining blanks opposite) — can be formed.
Figure 2: Places the circle face adjacent to two blank faces, but the circle must be opposite one blank face — cannot be formed.
Figure 3: Matches the required opposite-face relationships — can be formed.
Figure 4: Shows the two half-shaded faces adjacent, but they should be opposite — cannot be formed.
Conclusion: Only figures 1 and 3 can be formed from the given net.
