Question:

Which one of the answer figures is correct mirror image of problem figure with respect to X-X ?

Show Hint

X-X is a vertical line on the right of the figure, so the mirror image is the left-right reversal of the figure with top and bottom unchanged.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The mirror line X-X is vertical and lies to the right of the figure, so the image is obtained by reversing left and right while the top and bottom stay where they are.
The original has a small rectangle in its top block and a larger rectangle in its lower part, a plain vertical edge on its left with concave arcs at the top-left and bottom-left corners, and a stepped outline on its right.
After reflection the plain vertical edge with the two arcs moves to the right side, the stepped outline goes to the left, and both rectangles stay at their heights, the small one on top and the larger one below.
Option (1) has lost the small rectangle in the top block, so it is wrong.
In option (3) the lower rectangle sits too low relative to where the vertical edge ends, and in option (4) the bottom step of the outline is not reversed correctly.
Option (2) reproduces every step, arc and rectangle of the reflected figure.
