Question

Identify the mirror image of the given word along X-X' axis :

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

The mirror X-X' is vertical and stands on the right of the word, so the image is a left-right reversal: the last letter comes first and every letter is laterally inverted, still upright.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The word DAYLIGHTING is placed to the left of a vertical mirror X-X'.
In a vertical mirror the right end of the word is nearest the mirror, so the letters appear in reverse order: G, N, I, T, H, G, I, L, Y, A, D from left to right.
Each letter is also laterally inverted (left and right sides interchanged) but not turned upside down.
Option 2 shows upside-down letters (it is the reflection in a horizontal mirror). Options 3 and 4 reverse the order of letters but leave letters such as G, L, A and D un-inverted.
Option 1 shows the reversed order with every letter laterally inverted and upright.
Answer: (1) the reversed word with every letter laterally inverted
