Question

Examples of mirror and water reflections are shown in the figures below: 

 An object appears as the following image after first reflecting in a mirror and then reflecting on water: 

The original object is:

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

In problems involving sequential reflections, work backward systematically, starting with the final image, to reverse each transformation step.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the transformation sequence. 
The object undergoes two distinct transformations: Mirror reflection: A horizontal flip of the original object. Water reflection: A vertical flip of the mirrored object. Step 2: Reverse the transformations. 
To find the original image, reverse the transformations step by step: Reverse the water reflection (vertical flip) applied to the final image \(5:24\), resulting in: \[ 4:25 \] Reverse the mirror reflection (horizontal flip) applied to \(4:25\), resulting in: \[ h2:5 \] Step 3: Confirm the result. 
The original image before any transformations is: 

 

 Final Answer: (1)
