Question:
Identify the correct mirror image of the given figure along the \(XY\)-axis.
Identify the correct mirror image of the given figure along the \(XY\)-axis.
Show Hint
In mirror-image questions, first fix the mirror line in your mind, then mentally “flip” the figure across it—do not rotate it.

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
A mirror image along a given axis is obtained by reflecting the figure across that axis.
When a figure is reflected, the relative positions of all parts reverse with respect to the mirror line, while their shapes and sizes remain unchanged.
For a mirror placed along the \(XY\)-axis, the left–right orientation of the figure is reversed. Explanation:
Observe the positions of the shaded (black) triangular parts in the original figure.
After reflection across the \(XY\)-axis, each shaded region must appear at the symmetric position on the opposite side of the axis.
The internal diagonal lines and the central small square must also appear as mirror images, not rotated or rearranged. Among the given options, only Option (C) correctly shows:
Proper left–right reversal of the shaded regions,
Correct symmetry of the diagonals,
Exact mirror placement of the central shape.

- A toy is made with cardboard and rivets. As shown below, the two car cut-outs are attached on top of the parallel cardboard strips which should move when the child pushes or pulls the horizontal cardboard strip. Different linkage mechanisms are made with cardboard strips (rectangles) and connector pivots (circles). Black circles are fixed pivots (attached to the grey base) and white circles are moving pivots (not attached to the grey base). Which option will show a collision between the two cars?
