CMAT 2026 · Logical Reasoning · Medium · Non-Verbal Reasoning

Select from the options, the box that can be formed by folding the sheet shown in the following figure:

Unfolded net structure:

  • Top-most square: 2
  • Below 2: 1 (with 5 attached to the left of 1)
  • Below 1: 4
  • Below 4: 6 (with 3 attached to the right of 6)
  1. A.

    Box showing faces 3, 6, 1

  2. B.

    Box showing faces 1, 3, 5

  3. C.

    Box showing faces 2, 6, 4

  4. D.

    Box showing faces 3, 1, 4

Answer

D

Explanation

From the unfolded net, opposite pairs of faces are:

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

Opposite faces cannot appear adjacent to each other on a cube:

  • Option A contains 1 and 6 together (opposite pair).
  • Option B contains 5 and 3 together (opposite pair).
  • Option C contains 2 and 4 together (opposite pair).
  • Option D contains 3, 1, and 4, which share common vertices and are non-opposite adjacent faces. Thus, Option D can be formed.
