Question:

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

Show Hint

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

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The line X-X in the problem figure is vertical, so the mirror image is obtained by reversing the figure left to right; the top and the bottom stay where they are.
In the problem figure the top-left corner has a small lens with short horizontal strokes on the left edge, the top-right corner has a large quarter-circle arc, the bottom-left has a lens, the bottom-right has a lens, and a central circle passes through all four.
After the left-right reversal: the large quarter-circle arc must be at the top-left, the lens with the two short horizontal strokes must be at the top-right touching the right edge, and the bottom lenses exchange places with the same shapes and sizes, with the circle still in the middle.
The first figure has a narrower, closed lens at the bottom-right, the third figure has a much smaller curve at the bottom-left, and the fourth figure has a smaller arc at the top-left, so they are not exact reversals. Only the second figure matches in every corner.
Answer: (2) the second answer figure
