Question

The figure shown below is mirrored along the axes P, Q, R, S, T and U. What would be the resultant figure?

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the resultant figure when mirrored along axes P, Q, R, S, T, and U, we need to understand the concept of reflection. Reflection through an axis depicts a mirrored effect. Let's break down the steps to find the resultant figure:

• Reflect the given figure along axis P.
• Reflect the resultant figure from the previous step along axis Q.
• Repeat this reflection process along all specified axes: R, S, T, and U.

Each reflection flips the figure horizontally or vertically, depending on the orientation of the axis. Therefore, analyzing each transformation step-by-step leads us to compare the figure after all these transformations with the given options.
Let's find the transformation that matches one of the options:

• Reflection results in a symmetrical pattern that should match existing figures.
• Compare with each option to find a match with similar symmetry and orientation.

The correct transformation after reflecting through all axes matches the figure:

This figure maintains symmetry and orientation according to the number of reflections, leading to the correct answer.
