Detailed Solution

Here, we have to find whether the cross-sections of a brick when cut vertically and horizontally are the same or not.
Let's assume we have a brick.
So, the vertical cut of a brick’s cross-section is shown below:

Also, the horizontal cut of a brick’s cross-section is shown below:

Thus, seeing both images, we can say both are different in shape.
Hence, we will not get the same image when a brick is cut horizontally and vertically.
The cross-sections of a brick when cut vertically and horizontally are not the same.
Therefore, the given statement is false.
So, option (2) is correct.
