A paper shown in Panel $\text{I}$ is folded along the dashed lines $(- - -)$ to construct a cube. The shaded regions shown in Panel $\text{I}$ appear on the outer surface of the cube. Referring to cubes shown in Panel $\text{II}$, which one of the options is correct?

Only $\text{(i)}$ can correspond to the unfolded cube in Panel $\text{I}$.
Only $\text{(ii)}$ can correspond to the unfolded cube in Panel $\text{I}$.
Both $\text{(i)}$ and $\text{(ii)}$ can correspond to the unfolded cube in Panel $\text{I}$.
Neither $\text{(i)}$ nor $\text{(ii)}$ can correspond to the unfolded cube in Panel $\text{I}$.

For the clock shown in the figure, if

$ \begin{array}{l} \mathrm{O}^{*}=\mathrm{~O} \mathrm{~Q} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~Z} \mathrm{~P} \mathrm{~R} \mathrm{~T}, \text { and } \\
\mathrm{X}^{*}=\mathrm{~X} \mathrm{~Z} \mathrm{~P} \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~Y} \mathrm{~O} \mathrm{~Q}, \end{array}$

then which one among the given options is most appropriate for $\mathrm{P}^{*}?$

$\mathrm{P} \mathrm{~U} \mathrm{~W} \mathrm{~R} \mathrm{~T} \mathrm{~V} \mathrm{~X}$
$\mathrm{P} \mathrm{~R} \mathrm{~T} \mathrm{~O} \mathrm{~Q} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~U}$
$\mathrm{P} \mathrm{~T} \mathrm{~V} \mathrm{~Q} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~U} \mathrm{~W}$
$\mathrm{P} \mathrm{~S} \mathrm{~U} \mathrm{~P} \mathrm{~R} \mathrm{~T} \mathrm{~V}$

An ant walks in a straight line on a plane leaving behind a trace of its movement. The initial position of the ant is at point $\mathrm{P}$ facing east.
The ant first turns $72^{\circ}$ anticlockwise at $\text{P}$, and then does the following two steps in sequence exactly FIVE times before halting

1. moves forward for $10 \mathrm{cm}$.

2. turns $144^{\circ}$ clockwise.

The pattern made by the trace left behind by the ant is

$\text{PQ=QR=RS=ST=TP=10 cm}
$\text{PQ=QR=RS=ST=TU=UP=10 cm}$
$\text{SQ=QT=TR=RP=PS=10 cm}$
$\text{SQ=QT=TR=RP=PS=10 cm}$
