Question:medium

The question figure shows the 3D view of an object. Identify the correct view when looking in the direction of the arrow.

Show Hint

For direction-based views, mentally “flatten” the object along the arrow direction and focus only on the outermost visible edges.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

To solve this problem, we need to identify the correct view of the 3D object when looking in the direction of the arrow. The given 3D object consists of L-shaped interconnected blocks.

  1. Examine the direction of the arrow as indicated in the 3D view. It suggests a view from the bottom-left side of the object.
  2. The L-shape is clearly visible in the 3D view, and the arrangement of blocks is key to identifying the correct 2D projection.
  3. Consider the projection from the given direction. The vertical segment of the L-shape comprises three blocks and the horizontal part consists of three blocks.
  4. Compare the 2D options given:
    • Option 1: Shows an L-shape with unequal blocks, which doesn't match the observed dimensions.
    • Option 2: Displays an L-shape made up of three blocks each on both vertical and horizontal segments, which matches the 3D projection.
    • Option 3: This option shows a mismatched arrangement which doesn't represent the 3D object correctly from the arrow's direction.
    • Option 4: Represents incorrect block count on the horizontal line, hence incorrect.
  5. Based on the analysis, Option 2 is the correct view when looking in the direction of the arrow.
