Which of the nets given below will generate a cone?

(a) 
(b) 
(c) 
(d) 

Solution:

We have to find the net which forms a cone on folding.

A cone is a three-dimensional shape that has a circular base and it narrows down to a sharp point called a vertex.

From the definition of the cone, we observe that we need a circular base.

The figures in option (b), (c) and (d) have only line segments but no curves.

The figure in option (a) has both line segments and curves.

On folding the net in option (a), we get a circular base and a narrow point called a vertex.

Therefore, can generate a cone.
