Question

Which of the following has many lines of symmetry option
(A) A
(B) O
(C) Q
(D) B

Answer 1

Hint: An alphabet is symmetric; it is divided into two equal halves a line. Symmetry is the reflection of one another. A line of symmetry is the line that divides an object in such a way that both parts are superimposed to each other. So, try to draw a line which divides the given letter in two equal parts.

Complete step-by-step answer:
The letter A has on line of symmetry as one vertical line divide it in two equal halves as
                            A
So, letter A divides equally in two halves by a vertical line only.
The letter B has one line of symmetry as one horizontal line divides it into two equal halves as
                            B
Here letter B is divided equally by a horizontal line.
The letter Q is not symmetric as no line divides it in equal half.
                            Q
The letter O is symmetric about many lines as any line passed through its centre. It divides it equally half
                            O
so, letter O has many symmetric lines.
Hence option B is correct.

Note: Symmetric means that one shape exactly like another when it moves and places over it in some ways so that one part exactly covers up another. Symmetric objects are superimposed to each other. If a line divides any object in two equal halves it means that that any point which is at some distance from the line, there exists exactly the same point exactly at the same distance but in the opposite direction.
