Question

[This question contains an animated GIF image. Please refer to that image]
A designer has created an infinitely looping animation as shown in the image. It has 24 frames playing at a speed of 12 frames per second. Which of the statements is/are true?

• A. The duration of one circular loop is 3 seconds.
• B. Each dot turns white for 4 frames in each loop.
• C. If this animation is played at 8 frames per second, the speed of animation will be faster.
• D. This animation with same duration is possible with 6 frames played at 3 frames per second.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B, D

To evaluate the given statements about the animation, we need to perform a few calculations and logical analysis based on the provided details:

• There are 24 frames in total.
• The animation plays at a speed of 12 frames per second.
• Let's analyze each statement:
• Statement 1: "The duration of one circular loop is 3 seconds."

The duration in seconds of the animation can be calculated using the formula: Duration (seconds) = Total frames / Frames per second = 24 / 12 = 2 seconds. Thus, this statement is false.

• Statement 2: "Each dot turns white for 4 frames in each loop."

Assuming the alternating frames repeat evenly, with a total of 24 frames, one segment of activity for turning a dot white can be: 24 frames / 6 dots = 4 frames per dot. Thus, this statement is true.

• Statement 3: "If this animation is played at 8 frames per second, the speed of animation will be faster."

If played at a lower frame rate of 8 frames per second, the time taken to complete the loop will increase: Duration = 24 / 8 = 3 seconds. Lowering the frame rate makes the animation slower, not faster. Thus, this statement is false.

• Statement 4: "This animation with the same duration is possible with 6 frames played at 3 frames per second."

With 6 frames at 3 frames per second = 6 / 3 = 2 seconds, which is equal to the original duration. Thus, this statement is true.

In summary, the true statements are:

• Each dot turns white for 4 frames in each loop.
• This animation with the same duration is possible with 6 frames played at 3 frames per second.
