Question

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

• A. Option 1
• B. Option 2
• C. Option 3
• D. Option 4

Hint:

In 3D-view questions, count the number of vertical level changes—each change usually appears as a horizontal line in the projected view.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:
When viewing a 3D object from a given direction, depth collapses and only height and width remain visible.
Internal steps or levels appear as horizontal divisions in the front/side view.
The number and position of horizontal lines indicate changes in height. Step-by-step analysis:
The arrow indicates viewing the object from the right-hand side.
From this direction, the object shows:
One full vertical rectangular outline,
Two distinct height changes due to the stepped structure.
Hence, the correct projection must show two horizontal dividing lines inside a rectangle. Comparison with options:
Option (A): Shows only one horizontal division — incomplete.
Option (B): Shows no internal division — incorrect.
Option (C): Horizontal divisions are incorrectly placed.
Option (D): Correctly shows two horizontal divisions corresponding to the stepped heights. Therefore, the correct view when looking in the direction of the arrow is Option (D).
