Question

P and Q are printed patterns where the white portion of both the patterns is transparent. If Q is overlapped on P, what will be the resultant image?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

For transparency overlap problems: \begin{itemize} \item Transparent areas reveal the layer below, \item Only opaque regions affect the final image, \item Always consider exact alignment before comparing options. \end{itemize}

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Note that in both patterns P and Q, the white regions are transparent. This means only the coloured regions block visibility when the patterns are overlapped. \bigskip Step 2: Place pattern Q directly over pattern P without rotation. Wherever Q has transparent (white) regions, the underlying pattern P will remain visible. \bigskip Step 3: Analyze the overlap: \begin{itemize} \item Black regions from P remain visible unless covered by coloured regions of Q, \item Brown regions from Q appear wherever they lie over transparent areas of P, \item The final pattern is a composite of visible black and brown shapes. \end{itemize} \bigskip Step 4: Compare each option with the expected composite: \begin{itemize} \item Options A, B, D: Show incorrect masking or misplaced coloured regions. \item C: Correctly represents all overlaps and transparent regions — valid. \end{itemize} \bigskip Final Answer: \[ \boxed{C} \] \bigskip
