Question:

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

Show Hint

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

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The mirror line X-X is horizontal and lies below the figure, so the image is the figure turned upside down (top and bottom exchanged) with left and right kept as they are.
In the problem figure a small circle and double arcs lie in the upper-right quadrant, a big circle and a small circle sit on the horizontal diameter on the left and right of the vertical diameter respectively, and a double arc lies in the lower-right quadrant.
After reflection the arcs that were in the lower-right quadrant move to the upper-right, those that were in the upper-right move to the lower-right, and the small circle that touched the upper arc is now at the bottom.
The big circle stays on the left and the small circle stays on the right of the vertical diameter.
Option (3) shows exactly this arrangement; the other options either swap left and right or place the arcs and circles in wrong quadrants.
