Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at line MN as shown below.
- AFigure showing the lateral inversion where elements near the mirror remain near.
- BFigure showing an inverted top-to-bottom orientation.
- CFigure with unchanged orientation.
- DFigure showing an incorrect reflection of the shaded region.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
When a mirror is placed vertically at line MN on the right side of a figure:
The left and right sides of the object swap places (lateral inversion).
The top and bottom orientations remain unchanged.
Elements closest to the mirror line MN will appear closest to the mirror in the image.
Following these rules, the correct option matches the precise reflection given in Option A.
