Which of the options can be printed on P to get R?
Show Hint
In pattern identification problems, first identify the fundamental repeating unit or texture of the pattern. Then, compare this texture with the given options. Sometimes, minor variations like shifts or rotations of the same basic pattern are considered correct representations.
Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
The question asks us to identify the ink pattern (from options A, B, C, D) that, when printed onto the brown shape P, results in the final image R. This means we need to find the pattern that was added to P. The pattern in R consists of a texture of black and white dots contained within the boundaries of shape P.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's analyze the texture of the pattern in R and compare it with the options.
The texture in R is a checkerboard-like pattern of alternating black and white squares/dots.
Option A and B: These patterns consist of horizontal lines of dots, with alternating rows offset. This does not match the checkerboard texture of R.
Option C and D: Both of these patterns show the correct checkerboard texture that is seen in R. Option C and Option D are essentially the same pattern, just shifted by one unit horizontally relative to each other (they are out of phase).
Since the pattern in R is made of the texture shown in both C and D, both options represent the correct type of pattern that was printed. For example, the top row of the main rectangular section in R starts with a black dot, which matches the pattern in D. Other sections might align with C. Since the question asks which "options" (plural) can be printed, and both C and D represent the fundamental texture used, they are both considered correct. The printing process would use a screen with this texture to create the final image R.
Step 3: Final Answer:
The patterns shown in options C and D both match the texture printed on shape P to create the final image R. They represent the same checkerboard pattern, merely phase-shifted.
