Question

In which of these diagrams does the shaded portion represent half?

• A. $1$ and $3$
• B. $2$ and $3$
• C. $3$ and $4$
• D. $1$ and $4$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3$ and $4$

In 1st part, $3$ columns are shaded and $4$ are unshaded, that means shaded portion doesn't represent half.

In 2nd part, also shaded portion is slightly smaller than half.

It can be further observed that in part $3$ and $4$, shaded region represents half.
