Question

Which arrangement of tiles will create the image shown on the left? Tiles can be rotated but not flipped.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

When solving tile arrangement problems, focus on how the tiles can fit together by rotating them without flipping. Ensure all edges align properly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Visualize the arrangement of tiles and how the shapes need to be rotated to fit together to match the image on the left.
Step 2: is the correct arrangement where all tiles fit to form the required pattern.

Answer 2

The question itself gives the key constraint: the tiles can be rotated but never flipped. So the fastest way to check each option is to look at every individual tile's outline and ask whether it could be the original cut piece simply turned to a new angle, or whether it has been mirrored, which is not allowed.

1. Option A: At least one tile's notch appears as a mirror image of how it was cut, rather than a rotation of it, which breaks the no-flipping rule stated in the question.
2. Option B: Here a tile's step-shaped edge is turned the wrong way round compared with any rotation of the original piece, again matching a flip rather than a turn.
3. Option C: Every tile in this arrangement is a genuine rotation of one of the original cut pieces, none of the notches or steps have been mirrored, and together they interlock to rebuild the same picture shown on the left.
4. Option D: One of the tiles here has its cut corner on the opposite side to any rotation of the original piece, which again only a flip could produce.

Only option C arranges every tile using rotation alone, exactly as the question requires, and reconstructs the original picture correctly.

So the correct answer is Option C.
