Question

A painted solid is shown from two different directions. Which of the options can be the same solid seen from another direction?

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B, C, D

The problem involves identifying which options can represent the painted solid when viewed from another direction. To solve this problem, you must consider the details of the shapes, their features, and orientations given in the images provided.

First, examine the painted solid shown from the two different directions. Pay attention to the number of visible faces, their positions, and any distinctive features, such as colors or markings on each face.

Then compare each option to the painted solid:

Compare Fig 1 with the original solid images. Analyze any differences in shape and face orientation. Fig 1 doesn't align with the configuration as it has mismatched faces.

Now, compare Fig 2 with the original solid images. It aligns well when the solid is rotated, matching the visible faces and color distribution correctly.

Next, observe Fig 3. Similar to Fig 2, it accurately represents an alternative perspective of the original solid with corresponding face configurations.

Finally, analyze Fig 4. It also fits the requirements for matching the original solid from a different direction, considering it too matches the defined faces and colors.

Therefore, the solid seen from another direction can be correctly represented by Fig 2, Fig 3, and Fig 4.
