Solution
The correct option is D iv
A polyhedron is a three-dimensional shape having polygons as its faces are usually joined by edges.
An ice cream cone is in the shape of a cone. A cricket ball is in the shape of a sphere. A glass tumbler has the shape of a cylinder. Cone, sphere, cylinder have curved surface. So, they do not come under the category of polyhedrons.
A brick has the shape of a cuboid. A cuboid has rectangular faces and no curved surface.
So, only (iv) is a polyhedron.
