In the following question, choose the correct mirror image of the fig. (X) from amongst the four alternatives (1), (2), (3) and (4) given along with it.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) →
A mirror placed beside the word turns left into right. So in the mirror image the order of the letters is reversed (G comes first and R last), and every letter is turned round: A, I and O have a vertical line of symmetry and look the same, while R, E, S, N and G appear reversed, the S included.
Tip: Capital letters that look the same in a mirror are those with a vertical line of symmetry: A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X and Y. Every other letter must appear reversed in the image.
