    Question

    A square paper is folded twice, first along the vertical axis and then along the horizontal axis. A small triangle is cut out from the top right corner. When unfolded completely, how many triangles will appear on the paper?

    A.

    2

    B.

    4

    C.

    3

    D.

    8

    Correct option is B

    Information Given:
    Square paper folded twice:
    1st fold → vertical
    2nd fold → horizontal
    Triangle cut at top-right corner

    Logic:
    Each fold doubles the cuts due to symmetry

    Explanation:
    Logic: Number of pieces = 2^(number of folds)

    Step-by-step:
    Folds = 2
    Pieces formed after unfolding = 2² = 4

    So, 1 triangle cut → appears 4 times

    Short Trick:
    Number of shapes = 2ⁿ (n = folds)

    Final Answer:
    4

    Final Correct Option:
    B
