When the word 'COMPETITIVE' is reflected in a vertical mirror, how many letters remain unchanged in their appearance?
A 3
B 4
C 5
D 6
Correct Answer:  B. 4
EXPLANATION

Letters that remain unchanged in vertical mirror reflection are: A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y. In 'COMPETITIVE', only T, I, T, I appear = 4 letters remain visually same.

Test
A figure shows vertices A(1,1), B(4,1), C(4,4), D(1,4). After water image transformation about x-axis, vertex C will be at:
A (4,-4)
B (-4,4)
C (4,4)
D (-4,-4)
Correct Answer:  A. (4,-4)
EXPLANATION

Water image about x-axis changes (x,y) to (x,-y). Therefore C(4,4) becomes (4,-4).

Test
If the mirror image of a number shows '69', what was the original number?
A 69
B 96
C 69
D Cannot be determined
Correct Answer:  B. 96
EXPLANATION

When reflected vertically, 6 becomes 9 and 9 becomes 6. The order also reverses in water image, so '69' in mirror comes from '96' originally.

Test
A triangle ABC with angle A = 90°, angle B = 60° is reflected in a vertical mirror. The angles in the mirror image will be:
A 90°, 60°, 30°
B 90°, 30°, 60°
C 60°, 90°, 30°
D Angles remain unchanged
Correct Answer:  D. Angles remain unchanged
EXPLANATION

Mirror reflection preserves angles. The angles remain 90°, 60°, 30° in the same measures, though vertex positions may change.

Test
The word 'INDIA' when subjected to water image transformation becomes:
A AIDNI
B AIDNI
C AIDNA
D DNAI
Correct Answer:  A. AIDNI
EXPLANATION

Water image (horizontal reflection) reverses the sequence. 'INDIA' becomes 'AIDNI' with letters in reverse order.

Test
A parallelogram with sides 6cm and 8cm is reflected in a vertical mirror. What will be the dimensions of the mirror image?
A 8cm and 6cm
B 6cm and 8cm
C 12cm and 16cm
D Cannot be determined
Correct Answer:  B. 6cm and 8cm
EXPLANATION

Mirror reflection preserves dimensions. The sides remain 6cm and 8cm, only the orientation may change.

Test
A figure with vertices at (2,3), (5,3), (5,6), (2,6) is reflected across the y-axis. The new position of vertex (5,3) will be:
A (-5,3)
B (5,-3)
C (-5,-3)
D (3,5)
Correct Answer:  A. (-5,3)
EXPLANATION

Reflection across the y-axis changes (x,y) to (-x,y). Therefore, (5,3) becomes (-5,3).

Test
A clock showing 3:15 is reflected in a vertical mirror. What time will the mirror image show?
A 8:45
B 9:15
C 8:15
D 6:45
Correct Answer:  A. 8:45
EXPLANATION

In a vertical mirror reflection of a clock, the time transforms as: 12 - (actual time) or using the clock position, 3:15 reflects to 8:45.

Test
When the word 'COMPETITIVE' is reflected in a vertical mirror, which letter will appear in the same position as in the original word?
A O
B T
C I
D V
Correct Answer:  C. I
EXPLANATION

Only the letter 'O' has vertical symmetry and appears the same in mirror reflection. However, checking all letters: C, O, T, I, V - only O and I have true vertical mirror symmetry. I appears same in mirror, so answer is I.

Test
Which of the following numbers remains numerically unchanged when reflected in a vertical mirror?
A 121
B 101
C 111
D All of the above
Correct Answer:  D. All of the above
EXPLANATION

All three numbers (121, 101, 111) have digits that are vertically symmetric (1 and 2 are symmetric), and when reflected, they read the same numerically.
