Question

Find the odd one out when the object is divided vertically through the centre.

• A. Figure 1
• B. Figure 2
• C. Figure 3
• D. Figure 4

Hint:

For symmetry-based questions, always imagine a mirror placed along the given axis and check whether both halves coincide perfectly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: When an object is divided vertically through its centre, a vertically symmetrical figure will have identical left and right halves. The odd figure is the one that does \emph{not} satisfy this condition. Step-by-step analysis:
Figure 1: The two small squares with diagonal crosses are placed diagonally. After vertical division, the left and right halves do not match. Hence, it is not vertically symmetrical.
Figure 2: The crossed squares at the bottom are arranged symmetrically about the vertical centre line.
Figure 3: The two crossed squares at the top are mirror images across the vertical centre.
Figure 4: The stacked crossed squares are centrally placed and remain identical on both sides after division. Conclusion: Only Figure 1 fails the vertical symmetry test. Hence, it is the odd one out.
Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{Figure 1}}\)
