A hexagonal prism is resting on H.P on one of its longest faces, axis is perpendicular to V.P the section plane is perpendicular to H.P and inclined to V.P and cutting solid at approximately middle. The section will be like a __________

(a) hexagon

(b) irregular hexagon

(c) rectangle

(d) trapezium

Best answer
The correct answer is (b) irregular hexagon

The best I can explain: Prisms are obtained by extruding required shape up to some appreciable length so there will be same cross-section along the length perpendicular to axis. If the cutting plane is parallel to axis we get rectangle if inclined to axis the section depends on the position where it is cutting.
