Question

If a mirror is placed vertically next to the picture given above at the dotted line, then the image of the picture on the left looks like:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

For mirror reflections: - Vertical mirror: swap left and right. - Horizontal mirror: swap top and bottom. - No change in size or distance from the mirror line.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding vertical mirror reflection.
When an object is reflected in a vertical mirror (placed along the right side), the left and right sides are swapped, while the vertical orientation (up and down) remains the same.
Step 2: Analyzing the given figure.
The largest black shape is in the top-left corner.
A smaller black shape is near the center-right.
Another small shape is slightly lower.
Step 3: Drawing the reflection mentally.
After reflection:
The largest black shape will appear in the top-right corner.
The smaller shapes' horizontal positions will be flipped but their vertical positioning remains the same.
Step 4: Comparing with options.
Option (B) shows the correct mirrored image:
- The large black shape has moved to the top-right.
- The small shapes are flipped horizontally but stay vertically aligned.
