Correct option is A
Solution:
Initially, the paper has sides in the ratio of 3:8. When it is cut in half across the longer side, the longer side becomes half its previous length while the shorter side remains the same.
After the first cut:
The new dimensions of the rectangle become 3:4 (as the long side has been halved).
After the second cut:
The dimensions become 3:2 (since the long side is halved again).
After the third cut:
The dimensions become 3:1 (again halved along the long side).
The ratio 3:8 can never be restored in the following cuts, as the ratio keeps changing in each step by halving the longer side. Thus, after cutting, the ratio will never revert to 3:8 again.
Therefore, the answer is Never.
