The viewer will perceive the larger twin as closer because of relative size. This is because objects that are closer to us appear larger than those that are farther away. Therefore, the larger twin, being closer to the viewer, will appear larger than the smaller twin. Interposition occurs when one object appears to overlap another, but this is not applicable in this scenario.
