Consider the following statements:1. If magenta and yellow coloured circles intersect, the intersected area will have red colour.2. If cyan and magenta coloured circles intersect, the intersected area will have blue colour.Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
✓ Correct answer: c) Both 1 and 2
ExplanationStatement 1 is correct: Magenta and yellow are primary colors in the subtractive color model (used in printing).When they intersect, the resulting color is red, as magenta absorbs green and yellow absorbs blue.The remaining reflected light is red.Statement 2 is correct: Cyan and magenta are also primary colors in the subtractive color model.Cyan absorbs red light, and magenta absorbs green light.When cyan and magenta overlap, they absorb red and green light, leaving blue light to be reflected. :Subtractive color mixing occurs when colors are created by subtracting (absorbing) certain wavelengths of light and reflecting others.It is used in pigments or filters, where primary colors cyan, magenta, and yellow combine to produce secondary colors (e.g., magenta + yellow = red).255
