Question

In each figure alongside, a letter of the alphabet is shown along with a vertical line. Take the mirror image of the letter in the given line. Find which letters look the same after reflection (i.e. which letter looks the same in the image) and which does not. Can you guess why?

Answer 1

Hint: For solving this type of questions you should know about the alphabet reflection symmetry. In the question two letters A and B are given and we have to find the mirror image of both of them. If the mirror image is the same, then both are symmetric and if the image is different, then they are not symmetric.

Complete step by step answer:
According to the question if we make the mirror image of A, then we have as follows,

So, the mirror image of A is the same as the original or real letter of the alphabet A.
Now, we make the mirror image for B, then we have the image as follows,

We can see that the mirror image of B is not symmetric because both are looking different and looking like opposite to each other. To solve these questions, the concept of alphabet reflection symmetry is that the letters are written from right to left and they appear as though they are written from left to right in the mirror image. The letters like A, M And U, T, O or many letters look the same as the original letters in the mirror image. Like these if we see in the mirror then, H, I, M, O, U, T, V, W, X, Y also appears as the same as the real letters. And thus we can check the symmetricity of the letters.

Note: For solving this type of questions we should know that according to the concept of symmetry of alphabet reflection, if any letter’s reflection is seeing as same in looking and size and etc as the real letter, then the reflection is a symmetric reflection.
