(a). A Vertical Mirror
Ans: Reflectional symmetry is the symmetry that is caused by the reflections of the mirror. The mirror is placed in different positions like vertically or horizontally to check the reflections and determine whether they are symmetrical or not.
We will place the mirror vertically and check for all the alphabets. On checking, the following alphabets were obtained that were the reflections on the mirror.
(ii) A Horizontal Mirror
Ans: Reflectional symmetry is the symmetry that is caused by the reflections of the mirror. The mirror is placed in different positions like vertically or horizontally to check the reflections and determine whether they are symmetrical or not.

(iii) Both Horizontal and Vertical Mirrors
Ans: Reflectional symmetry is the symmetry that is caused by the reflections of the mirror. The mirror is placed in different positions like vertically or horizontally to check the reflections and determine whether they are symmetrical or not.
The alphabets that possess both vertical and horizontal reflections can be determined by placing the mirror once vertically and then horizontally and bringing out the common alphabets from both the cases.
We will place the mirror vertically and check for all the alphabets. On checking the following alphabets were obtained that were the reflections on the mirror.
We will place the mirror horizontally and check for all the alphabets. On checking the following alphabets were obtained that were the reflections on the mirror.
From the above two cases we can determine the alphabets that are common for both the vertical and the horizontal reflections.
These alphabets are H, I, O, and X.
