Types of Mirror Images

This section will make you know what kind of or type of questions is being asked in the examination.

1. Mirror Image of letters:

We have read the definition of mirror image but here we will apply it. The case is related to a mirror image of letters and numbers. The below given example is showing the mirror image of the letter “B”. You can see that LHS has been interchanged with RHS.

Some letters do not change upon reflection. The letters which are having identical mirror images are A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, and Y. Similarly in small letters we have i, l, o, v, w, and x that have the same mirror image as that of their original images.

a) Mirror Image of Capital Letters :
 

b) Mirror Image of Small Letters :
 

2. Mirror Image of numbers :

8 is the only numeral that have the same mirror image as that of its original.

3. Shape Mirror Image :

The point of an object near the mirror will be always near the mirror image also.
 

4. Clock-Based Mirror Images:

Rule 1: If the time is between 1: 01 to 10: 59 (i.e 11: 00) then subtract the asked time from the 11: 60
Rule 2: If time is between 11: 01 to 12 : 59  then subtract the asked time from the 23: 60

Mirror Image Questions are mostly asked in the Logical Reasoning section of competitive examinations. So candidates need to prepare well by practicing some Mirror Images Questions given below. 

When we see ourselves in a mirror or see anything in a mirror, the way we see ourselves in a mirror or the object in a mirror is called its mirror reflection or mirror image. The concept of the mirror image is based on lateral inversion. So let’s first understand what is lateral inversion.
