Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

A figure shows an arrow pointing toward the upper-right direction (45° angle from horizontal). When this arrow is first reflected in a horizontal mirror (water surface) and then the resulting image is reflected in a vertical mirror, what direction will the final arrow point?

Accepted Answer

This tests understanding of how directional vectors change through successive perpendicular mirror reflections, requiring spatial reasoning about angle transformations.

Question 10

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 11

A clock shows 3:45. What time will be shown when this clock is viewed in a mirror placed vertically to its right?

Accepted Answer

This tests understanding of how a vertical mirror reflects a clock face, requiring knowledge that the mirror image reverses the horizontal axis while the clock mechanism remains unchanged.

Question 12

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.
