Question

Which of the following shows the different faces of a cube?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D. Both A and B

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Say:
We know that a cube is a 3D shape made with 6 squares. Let us observe the given faces from the options.

Steps:
$\bullet$ The face in Option A has 6 squares.

$\bullet$ The face in Option B has 6 rectangles.

$\bullet$ The face in Option C has 3 rectangles and 2 triangles.

$\bullet$ So, only the face in Option A can create 6 square faces of a cube.

$\bullet$ Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
