SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -If you mix a cyan light with a red light you get a white light. If you mix a cyan paint and a red paint you get a black paint.

Detailed explanation-2: -Where the magenta and cyan overlap, we see the subtractive mixture of magenta and cyan. In other words, we see white from which the magenta filter has subtracted green and the cyan filter has subtracted red. This leaves green, i.e. the subtractive mix of magenta and cyan = white–green–red = blue.

Detailed explanation-3: -Red is a primary colour in additive colour scheme. Cyan, however, is a combination of two additive primary colours, green and blue. Therefore, when you mix red and “cyan” (i.e. green and blue) light, you have essentially added all three primary colours, resulting in white light.
