Which of the following collections of letters will look the same in the simple mirror?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → HIMOVTA
A mirror turns every letter left to right, so a letter keeps its shape only if it is symmetrical about a vertical line through its middle. Every letter of HIMOVTA has such a line; S (Options 1 and 3) and R (Option 4) do not, so their mirror images face the other way.
Tip: The capital letters that look the same in a mirror are A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y; a group containing any other letter changes in the mirror.
