Question

Jayanth placed three sheets of paper with two carbons in between, to get two extra copies of the original. Subsequently he decided to get more carbon copies and folded the paper in such a way that the upper half of the sheets was on top of the lower half. Then he typed. How many carbon copies did he get?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 4
D) 3

Answer 1

Hint: Jayanth used three sheets of paper with two carbon copies. When he decided to get more carbon copies he folded the sheets of paper in half. Here, the sheets of paper are folded but carbon copies were not touched so the number of carbon copies remains the same.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We are given that Jayanth placed $3$ sheets of paper with $2$ carbon copies in between. To get more carbon copies he folded the sheets in such a way that the upper half of the sheets was on top of the lower half.
We have to find the number of carbon copies he gets.
No. of carbon copies he used = $2$
Since, he just folded the sheets of papers and did not touch or increase the no. of carbon copies. So, the number of carbon copies will remain the same.
Therefore, the number of carbon copies he finally gets is $2$
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: Carbon copy is a duplicate of anything written or typed by using a carbon paper. Carbon papers are kept below a paper to make a copy of what will be written on the paper. Carbon paper is paper coated on one side with a layer of loosely bound dry ink bounded with wax.
