Question

The figure shows a 3×3×3 cube with 4 colours. Each colour corresponds to a sub-block detached and shown separately. Identify the correct red block shape.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

For 3D cube disassembly puzzles, focus on adjacency of coloured cubes, not just counts. The central cube often anchors the shape.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Locate the red blocks inside cube.
From the reference cube, the red occupies the central top cube, one at front middle, and one on the left side—giving a 3D cross-like structure.
Step 2: Count cubes.
Red consists of 5 unit cubes joined in a cross configuration.
Step 3: Compare options.
- (A): Too linear, does not form cross.
- (B): Matches cross-like arrangement, with one central cube and extensions in multiple directions.
- (C): Incorrect, shaped like “T”.
- (D): Incorrect, not symmetric as red in original cube.
Step 4: Conclude.
Thus, the red shape corresponds to option (B). Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{B}} \]
