Which of the following collections of letters will look the same in the mirror?
(A) OXA8voHM
(B) TWOVIMYOU
(C) HV8SIMOT
(D) AIXW08VA
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B) and (D) only
A letter looks the same in a mirror held beside it only if it is symmetric about an upright line through its middle, so that its left half is the mirror image of its right half.

Note: In a mirror held beside a word, the order of the letters is also reversed: (A) would read MHov8AXO in the mirror. None of the four collections reads the same backwards, so if each were read as a word, none of them would look the same. The question speaks of collections of letters, and the answer given by NTA takes the letters one by one: a collection is counted as looking the same when every letter in it looks the same in the mirror.
