Question

Six concentric white rings, each of equal thickness but having different diameters, are positioned on different planes in space. A one-point perspective view of the rings is shown below. Based on this view, which of the option(s) is/are TRUE?

• A. Rings 6 and 3 are closer to the viewer compared to ring 5
• B. Rings 2 and 4 are at equal distance from the viewer
• C. Ring 1 is the nearest to the viewer
• D. Ring 5 is the farthest from the viewer

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, B, C

To determine which statements are true regarding the perspective view of the concentric rings, we must consider how perspective affects the apparent size and spacing of objects:

1. Rings 6 and 3 are closer to the viewer compared to ring 5: In a one-point perspective view, objects closer to the viewer appear larger. If rings 6 and 3 are depicted larger than ring 5, they are indeed closer to the viewer.
2. Rings 2 and 4 are at equal distance from the viewer: If rings 2 and 4 appear to be of the same size, they are likely equidistant from the viewer despite potentially appearing on different planes.
3. Ring 1 is the nearest to the viewer: The ring that appears largest and overlaps others without being overlapped back is closest to the viewer in perspective.
4. Ring 5 is the farthest from the viewer: In perspective, objects that appear smallest are typically furthest away. If ring 5 appears the smallest, it is likely the farthest. However, based on the visualization provided and correct options, this statement was not supported as true.

Thus, the correct statements based on perspective analysis are:

• Rings 6 and 3 are closer to the viewer compared to ring 5.
• Rings 2 and 4 are at equal distance from the viewer.
• Ring 1 is the nearest to the viewer.
