Question 1

A word 'REASONING' is written on a paper. When this 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 are also mirror-reversed.

Question 2

Look at the figure shown. Which option represents the water image (reflection in still water) of the given figure?

[Given: An arrow pointing UP-RIGHT at 45°]

Options show the same arrow in different orientations.

Accepted Answer

A water image is a vertical flip of the original figure. An arrow pointing UP-RIGHT becomes DOWN-RIGHT in water reflection.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the clock face is horizontally flipped. The hour hand at 3 (right side) appears at 9 (left side) in the mirror.

Question 4

A figure shows a triangle with the apex pointing upward and the base horizontal at the bottom. What will be its water image (reflection in still water below)?

Accepted Answer

Water image applies vertical flip. An upward-pointing triangle becomes a downward-pointing triangle with the apex at the bottom.

Question 5

A digital clock displays '12:34'. When held in front of a mirror, what will the mirror image show? (Assume standard 7-segment display digits)

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image, the entire display is horizontally flipped. The digits appear reversed in sequence and individually mirrored based on 7-segment properties.

Question 6

A rectangular paper is folded in half vertically (left side folds onto right side). Then it is folded in half horizontally (top folds down onto bottom). How many layers of paper exist in the final folded shape?

Accepted Answer

First fold creates 2 layers. Second fold on the already-folded paper doubles the layers again: 2 × 2 = 4 layers total.

Question 7

A circular piece of paper is folded in half to form a semicircle. Then the semicircle is folded in half again. If you now unfold the paper completely, how many crease lines will be visible on the original circle?

Accepted Answer

First fold creates 1 crease (diameter). Second fold on the semicircle creates 1 additional crease. Total: 2 crease lines on the unfolded circle.

Question 8

A square paper has a small circle drawn in its center. The paper is folded diagonally (corner to opposite corner). After unfolding, how many images of the circle will be visible on the paper?

Accepted Answer

The circle is at the center of the square. When folded diagonally, the fold line passes through the center. Upon unfolding, only 1 circle remains visible—the original circle at the center is not duplicated by the fold.

Question 9

A rectangular paper is folded once horizontally (top edge meets bottom edge). A triangular piece is cut from the folded paper. When unfolded, how many triangular pieces will be present on the paper?

Accepted Answer

When paper is folded, a single cut through the folded layers creates cuts on both layers. One triangular cut on folded paper results in 2 triangular pieces when unfolded.

Question 10

A square paper is folded twice: first along the vertical midline (left onto right), then along the horizontal midline (top onto bottom). A small square is cut from one corner of the folded paper. When completely unfolded, how many small squares will be visible?

Accepted Answer

After two folds, the paper has 4 layers. A cut through all 4 layers creates 4 identical pieces. When unfolded, 4 small squares appear on the original paper.

Question 11

A square piece of paper is folded along one diagonal, then along the other diagonal. A small square is cut from the center of the folded paper. When unfolded, how many square pieces will be removed from the original paper?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to track multiple diagonal folds and understand how a cut through all layers manifests on the unfolded paper.

Question 12

A square piece of paper is folded along its diagonal, then the resulting triangle is folded in half along its height. After unfolding completely, how many distinct regions will be visible on the paper?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to mentally track fold lines and predict the crease pattern after unfolding.

Question 13

When a clock showing 3:15 is placed in front of a mirror, what time will be displayed in the mirror image?

Accepted Answer

In a mirror image of a clock, the position is horizontally flipped. The clock face is reversed as if viewed from behind.

Question 14

A figure shows a shape with a vertical line on its left side and a horizontal line on its bottom. When this figure is reflected in a vertical mirror placed on its right side, which of the following correctly describes the reflected image?

Accepted Answer

Vertical mirror reflection flips the figure horizontally, reversing left-right positions while maintaining top-bottom orientation.

Question 15

A figure consists of a triangle pointing upward with a circle inside it. When this figure is reflected in a horizontal mirror placed below it, what will be the position of the triangle and circle in the reflected image?

Accepted Answer

Horizontal mirror reflection flips the figure vertically, reversing top-bottom positions while maintaining left-right orientation.

Question 16

A rectangular paper is folded in half lengthwise, then folded in half widthwise. A small circle is punched through the folded paper at the center. When the paper is completely unfolded, how many circles will be visible?

Accepted Answer

This question tests understanding of how a single punch through folded paper creates multiple holes when unfolded.

Question 17

A rectangular paper is folded in half three times in the same direction (each fold parallel to the previous one). A hole is punched through the folded paper. When unfolded, how many holes will be visible?

Accepted Answer

This question tests understanding of cumulative layers created by repeated folds in the same direction.

Question 18

A square sheet of paper is folded diagonally once, then the resulting triangle is folded in half along its altitude from the right angle. After unfolding completely, how many distinct regions are created on the original square?

Accepted Answer

This tests the ability to mentally track fold lines and visualize their intersection pattern when the paper is unfolded.

Question 19

A word is written as 'REASONING'. When this word is viewed in a mirror placed vertically on the right side, and then that mirror image is again reflected in a horizontal mirror placed below, what will be the final image?

Accepted Answer

This question tests the ability to apply two successive mirror reflections—first vertical (right-side mirror), then horizontal (bottom mirror)—and understand how each transformation affects letter orientation and sequence.

Question 20

A figure consists of a triangle pointing upward with a circle inside it. When this figure is reflected in a water surface (horizontal mirror), and then the resulting image is reflected in a vertical mirror, what will be the final appearance?

Accepted Answer

This question tests sequential reflections with geometric shapes—first horizontal (water), then vertical—requiring understanding of how orientation and position change with each reflection.
