Question 1

A letter 'L' is written on a paper. When placed in front of a mirror, the mirror image will look like which letter?

Accepted Answer

The letter 'L' has a horizontal and vertical component. In a mirror image, the horizontal flip transforms 'L' into a reversed 'L' shape, which resembles the letter 'J' or a mirrored 'L'.

Question 2

A word 'REASONING' is written on a paper. When the paper is held in front of a mirror, how will the word appear?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the word is horizontally flipped. Each letter is reversed in position from right to left, and individual letters appear as their mirror counterparts.

Question 3

Which option shows the correct mirror image of the letter 'P' when reflected in a vertical mirror?

Accepted Answer

A vertical mirror creates a left-right flip. The letter 'P' when mirrored horizontally becomes a reversed 'P' (like a backwards P or 'd').

Question 4

A clock showing 3:00 is placed in front of a vertical mirror. What time will be shown in the mirror image?

Accepted Answer

In a vertical mirror reflection of a clock, the hour and minute hands are horizontally flipped. A clock showing 3:00 (hand pointing right) will appear to show 9:00 (hand pointing left) in the mirror.

Question 5

A word 'REASONING' is written on a paper. When the paper is held in front of a mirror, which of the following will be the mirror image of the word?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the word is horizontally flipped. Each letter is reversed in position from left to right, and individual letters that have vertical symmetry (like A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y) remain the same shape, while asymmetric letters (like R, E, S, N, G) appear reversed.

Question 6

A person's face is photographed from the front. When this photograph is held in front of a mirror, which feature will appear on the opposite side compared to the original photograph?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, left and right are reversed. If a person's right eye appears on the right side of the original photograph, it will appear on the left side in the mirror image. All asymmetric facial features (eyes, ears, moles, etc.) swap sides.

Question 7

A figure shows the number '2847' written on a transparent sheet. When this sheet is held in front of a mirror, what will be the mirror image of this number?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the sequence of digits is reversed (left becomes right), and each digit is horizontally flipped. Digits like 2, 4, 7, 8 appear reversed/mirrored when flipped horizontally. The digit sequence 2-8-4-7 becomes 7-4-8-2 in reverse order.

Question 8

A word 'MIRROR' is placed in front of a mirror. Which of the following represents the mirror image of the word 'MIRROR'?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the word is horizontally flipped. Each letter is reversed in position from left to right, and each letter itself appears as its mirror counterpart.

Question 9

When a clock showing 3:00 is placed in front of a mirror, what time will be shown in the mirror image?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image of a clock, the clock face is horizontally flipped. The position of 3 (on the right side of the clock) appears on the left side in the mirror, which corresponds to 9 on a normal clock. The hour and minute hands also flip horizontally.

Question 10

A word 'REASONING' is written on a paper. When this paper is placed in front of a mirror, how will the word appear in the mirror image?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the word appears horizontally flipped (left-right reversal). Each letter is reversed in position and orientation.

Question 11

The letter 'F' is written on a transparent sheet. When this sheet is flipped horizontally (mirror image), which of the following represents the correct mirror image?

Accepted Answer

When letter 'F' is mirrored horizontally, the vertical line remains in the same position, but the horizontal lines that extend to the right now extend to the left, creating a reversed 'F'.

Question 12

A clock shows 3:00. What time will it show in a mirror image?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image of an analog clock, the positions are horizontally flipped. 3:00 (hour hand pointing right) becomes 9:00 (hour hand pointing left).

Question 13

A number '2468' is written on a transparent sheet. When this sheet is placed in front of a mirror, what will be the mirror image of this number?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the number sequence is reversed (left-right flip). 2468 becomes 8642 when mirrored.

Question 14

A clock showing 3:15 is placed in front of a vertical mirror. What time will the mirror image show?

Accepted Answer

In a vertical mirror, the clock face is horizontally flipped. The hour and minute hands swap their left-right positions relative to the 12-6 vertical axis.

Question 15

A word is written as REASONING. When this word is seen in a mirror placed vertically on the right side, how will it appear?

Accepted Answer

In a vertical mirror placed on the right side, the word is horizontally flipped. Each letter reverses its orientation and the sequence reverses. REASONING becomes GNINOSAE with each letter mirror-reversed.

Question 16

A figure consists of a square with a diagonal line drawn from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner. When this figure is reflected in a vertical mirror placed on the right side, which corners will the diagonal line connect in the reflected image?

Accepted Answer

A vertical mirror placed on the right reverses left and right positions. The top-left corner becomes top-right, and the bottom-right corner becomes bottom-left in the reflected image.

Question 17

A figure shows a shape with a triangle pointing upward, a square below it, and a circle at the bottom. When this figure is reflected in a horizontal mirror (placed below the figure), which statement is true?

Accepted Answer

A horizontal mirror placed below reflects the figure vertically. The top becomes bottom and bottom becomes top, but left-right orientation remains unchanged.

Question 18

A clock shows 3:15. What time will it show in a mirror placed vertically on the right side of the clock?

Accepted Answer

In a vertical mirror, the clock face is horizontally flipped. The 3 o'clock position (right side) becomes the 9 o'clock position (left side). The minute hand at 3 (15 minutes) reflects to 9 (45 minutes). The hour hand between 3 and 4 reflects to between 8 and 9. Mirror image shows 8:45.

Question 19

A figure shows a triangle with vertices labeled A (top), B (bottom-left), and C (bottom-right). When this figure is reflected in a horizontal mirror (placed below the figure), which vertex will be at the top in the reflected image?

Accepted Answer

A horizontal mirror placed below reflects the figure vertically. Top and bottom positions are swapped, while left-right positions remain unchanged.

Question 20

A figure consists of a right-angled triangle with the right angle at the bottom-left corner, the vertical side on the left, and the horizontal side at the bottom. When this figure is reflected in a water surface (horizontal mirror), which of the following correctly describes the reflected image?

Accepted Answer

Water reflection (horizontal mirror) flips the figure vertically. The bottom becomes top, and the top becomes bottom. The right angle, originally at bottom-left, moves to top-left after reflection.
