Choose the correct alternative which will represent the position of numbers in the folded box.

  1. A.

  2. B.

    Cube showing 4 on top, 6 on front, 3 on right

  3. C.

    Cube showing 3 on top, 2 on front, 5 on right

  4. D.

    Cube showing 4 on top, 1 on front, 3 on right

Answer

D

Explanation

From the net of the folded sheet, opposite faces are:

  • 1 is opposite to 2
  • 3 is opposite to 5
  • 4 is opposite to 6

Since opposite faces cannot be adjacent in a 3D view:

  • Option A: 3 and 5 are adjacent (Incorrect)
  • Option B: 4 and 6 are adjacent (Incorrect)
  • Option C: 3 and 5 are adjacent (Incorrect)
  • Option D: 4, 1, and 3 are all adjacent, which is valid.
