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 vertical, so the mirror image is a left-right flip: every line keeps its height but moves to the opposite side.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The mirror line X - X is a vertical line to the right of the problem figure, so the mirror image is the problem figure flipped left to right. Heights of all points stay the same, and a feature that was near the right edge now lies near the left edge.
Flip the square: the large five-sided shape on the right side at the top moves to the left side, the long vertical line near the middle stays near the middle but on the mirrored side, the small closed pentagon moves from the left-centre to the right-upper area, and the long horizontal line near the bottom starts at the left edge.
Compare with the options: option 2 has the vertical line and the lower horizontal line placed at different positions; option 3 has an extra slanting line inside the figure; option 4 closes the lower-right shape with a long diagonal instead of the small bent step at the right edge. Only option 1 reproduces every line of the flipped figure.
Answer: (1) the first answer figure
