CogAT Paper Folding Analysis 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A square paper is folded once from left to right, then a single hole is punched near the center of the folded edge. When unfolded, how many holes appear?
- 1
- 2 (Correct answer)
- 3
- 4
Correct answer: 2
One fold creates two layers, so a single punch passes through both, making two holes.
Question 2: A paper is folded in half top to bottom, and a hole is punched exactly on the folded crease. After unfolding, where is the hole located?
- Two holes, one in each half
- One hole on the center crease line (Correct answer)
- Four holes near the corners
- No holes appear
Correct answer: One hole on the center crease line
Punching directly on the fold line places a single hole centered on the crease when unfolded.
Question 3: A square is folded in half twice (into quarters), then one hole is punched. How many holes appear when fully unfolded?
- 2
- 3
- 4 (Correct answer)
- 8
Correct answer: 4
Two folds create four layers, so one punch produces four holes.
Question 4: A paper folded once has a hole punched in the upper-left of the folded sheet. After a left-to-right unfold, how are the two holes arranged?
- Mirror images across the fold line (Correct answer)
- Stacked vertically
- Both in the same spot
- Diagonally opposite corners
Correct answer: Mirror images across the fold line
Unfolding reflects the punched hole across the fold line, producing a mirror-image pair.
Question 5: If a paper is folded into quarters and a corner of the folded square (the original center point) is cut off, what shape appears in the middle when unfolded?
- A small square hole in the center (Correct answer)
- A round hole at one corner
- Four separate slits
- No hole
Correct answer: A small square hole in the center
The folded corner that meets at the paper's center produces a square hole in the middle after unfolding.
Question 6: A paper folded in half left to right has two holes punched in a vertical line. How many holes appear after unfolding?
- 2
- 3
- 4 (Correct answer)
- 6
Correct answer: 4
Each of the two punches passes through both layers, creating four holes total.
Question 7: Which statement is true about a hole punched far from the fold line on a once-folded paper?
- The two holes are spread far apart symmetrically (Correct answer)
- The two holes are close to the crease
- Only one hole forms
- The holes overlap in the center
Correct answer: The two holes are spread far apart symmetrically
A punch far from the crease reflects to a position equally far on the other side, spreading the holes apart.
