Answer: a. 4 – symmetry property

Explanation:

An ellipse is identical through all its quadrant values. i.e., if you place the origin at the center of the ellipse, then it will have the mirror images for its points on all the four quadrants. Hence, the ellipse is said to have the 4-symmetry property.

Question 4: Which of the following are the methods to define a circle?

Using polynomial method.
Using polar coordinates methods.
Both a. and b.
None of the above

Answer: c. Both a. and b.

Explanation:

A circle can be defined from both the stated options: Using the polynomial method as well as the polar coordinates method.

Question 5: "The mid-point algorithm is used for both circle drawing as well as ellipse drawing, but the procedure is different for both of them."
Based upon the above statement, determine whether the following condition is true or false.
"The circle follows 8 - symmetry property whereas the ellipse follows 4 – symmetry property."

True
False

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

The circle is identical along all its octants whereas an ellipse is identical long all its quadrants. Hence the given statement: "The circle follows 8 - symmetry property whereas the ellipse follows 4 – symmetry property" is true.

Question 6: Why does a circle drawn on a computer screen look elliptical?

Because of its elliptical nature
Because CRTs design is elliptical
It is due to the ratio aspect of computer monitor
None of these

Answer: c. It is due to the ratio aspect of computer monitor

Explanation:

The screen aspect ratio, a circle drawn on the panel seems to be elliptical.

Question 7: With reference to properties of a circle, a circle is defined as a set of points that are all the given distance (x_c ,y_c).

True
False

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

A circle is defined as a set of points that are all the given distance (x_c ,y_c).

Question 8: An ellipse consists of two axes: major and minor axes where the major axis is the longest diameter and minor axis is the shortest diameter.

True
False

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

From the image plane, an ellipse consists of two axes: major and minor axes. The major axis is the longest diameter and minor axis is the shortest diameter. Each end of the major axis is the vertex, and each end of the minor axis is the co-vertex of the ellipse.

Question 9: During a circle creation using Bresenham's algorithm, it is usually simple to generate a circle?

One octant first and other by successive translation
One octant first and other by successive reflection
Both A and B
None of the above mentioned

Answer: b. One octant first and other by successive reflection

Explanation:

Only one octant is needed in Bresehnam's algorithm, and the remaining octants can be obtained by successive reflection.

Question 10: In computer graphics, the mid-point ellipse algorithm is an ___ of drawing an ellipse.

Circulation method
None of the above mentioned

Answer: d. None of the above mentioned

Explanation:

In computer graphics, the mid-point ellipse algorithm is an Incremental method of drawing an ellipse.

Question 11: Midpoint ellipse algorithm plots points of an ellipse on the first quadrant by dividing the quadrant into two regions.

True
False

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

A midpoint ellipse algorithm plots points of an ellipse on the first quadrant by dividing the quadrant into two regions.

Question 12: In the following figure, which one will be the appropriate pair of coordinates in the blanks?

(-x, -y)
(x, y)

Answer: a. (-x, y)

Explanation:

(-x, y) will be the correct pair of coordinates.

Question 13: The value of the decision parameter determines whether the mid-point lies ___ boundary and the then position of the mid-point help in drawing the ellipse.

At boundaries
Inside, outside, or on the ellipse
Only inside the boundaries
Only outside the boundaries

Answer: b. Inside, outside, or on the ellipse

Explanation:

The value of the decision parameter determines whether the mid-point lies Inside, outside, or on the ellipse boundary and the then position of the mid-point helps in drawing the ellipse.

Question 14: Which of the following method/methods are used to get and set the location of a pixel, object or text in a desktop's active area?

Gravity field method
Basic positioning method
Only A
None of The Above

Answer: b. Basic positioning method

Explanation:

In the active region of a desktop, basic positioning methods are used to get and set the location of a pixel, point, or document.

Question 15: The ___ of the circle is often used by the midpoint circle drawing algorithm to produce.

Two-way symmetry
Six-way symmetry
Eight-way symmetry
None of the mentioned above

Answer: a. Two-way symmetry

Explanation:

The two-way symmetry is used to create a circle in the midpoint circle drawing algorithm.

Question 16: Let R be the circumference of a circle. The angle created by an arc of length R at the circle's middle is?

1 radian
90 degree
60 degree
1 degree

Answer: a. 1 radian

Explanation:

One radian is the angle generated by wrapping a circle's radius around its circumference.

Question 17: To draw a perspective image of a globe, first enclose the circle in ___ then add pointing points, and so on.

Circle
Rectangle
Ellipse
All of the mentioned above

Answer: b. Rectangle

Explanation:

The circle can be enclosed in a square to achieve points on an ellipse, and the midpoints of the sides and intersection of diagonals with the circle are 8 points. Parallel to the square's edges, lines are traced along these stages.

Question 18: ___ is defined as a group of points where the sum of the distances for all points is the same.

Lines
Dots
Only A
Ellipses

Answer: d. Ellipses

Explanation:

Ellipses are a set of lines.

Question 19: The orientation of a picture plane in relation to the source is unaffected by the perspective view's distance.

True
False

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

If an entity is set behind the picture plane, it will appear smaller in perspective. The height of the viewpoint would rise as the object is brought closer to the picture plane, and vice versa.

Question 20: At any point (x, y) on the boundary of the circle with radius r satisfies the equation f_circle (x,y)=0. If the point is in the interior of the circle, the circle function is negative while if the point is outside the circle the, circle function is ___

Positive

May be positive or negative
None of the above mentioned

Answer: a. Positive

Explanation:

With reference to circle equation fcircle (x, y) = 0. If the point is in the interior of the circle, the circle function is negative while if the point is outside the circle the, circle function is positive.
