Question (English)

[image here: from question no. 21]

  1. [image here: from question no. 21]
  2. [image here: from question no. 21] ✓ Correct
  3. [image here: from question no. 21]
  4. [image here: from question no. 21]
Explanation:

When a mirror is placed vertically to the right (at MN) of the object, the reflection follows these rules:

  • The left side of the object becomes the right side and vice versa (lateral inversion).
  • The order of the elements reverses. The element closest to the mirror appears first in the reflection.

Step-by-step analysis:

  1. Original sequence: y R e A 4 k L
  2. Reversed sequence for reflection: Starts with reflection of L, then k, 4, A, e, R, and finally y.
  3. L: The vertical line stays, the bottom horizontal line flips to the left.
  4. k: The vertical line stays, the angular parts flip to the left.
  5. 4: The digit flips laterally.
  6. A: Remains unchanged as it is vertically symmetrical.
  7. e: The curve flips to face right.
  8. R: The vertical line stays, the loop and leg flip to the left.
  9. y: The slant flips laterally.

Option 2 correctly represents this inverted sequence and orientation.

प्रश्न (हिंदी)

दी गई आकृति का सही दर्पण प्रतिबिंब चुनें जब दर्पण को नीचे दिखाए अनुसार MN पर रखा गया हो।
[image here: from question no. 21]

  1. [image here: from question no. 21]
  2. [image here: from question no. 21]
  3. [image here: from question no. 21]
  4. [image here: from question no. 21]
स्पष्टीकरण:

जब दर्पण को वस्तु के दाईं ओर (MN पर) रखा जाता है, तो प्रतिबिंब निम्नलिखित नियमों का पालन करता है:

  • वस्तु का बायां भाग दाईं ओर और दायां भाग बाईं ओर दिखाई देता है (पार्श्व व्युत्क्रमण)।
  • अक्षरों का क्रम उल्टा हो जाता है। जो अक्षर दर्पण के सबसे करीब होता है, वह प्रतिबिंब में सबसे पहले आता है।

चरण-दर-चरण विश्लेषण:

  1. मूल क्रम: y R e A 4 k L
  2. प्रतिबिंब के लिए क्रम उल्टा होगा: सबसे पहले L का प्रतिबिंब, फिर k, 4, A, e, R, और अंत में y
  3. L: इसका निचला हिस्सा बाईं ओर मुड़ जाएगा।
  4. k: इसकी कोणीय रेखाएं बाईं ओर हो जाएंगी।
  5. 4: यह अंक पलट जाएगा।
  6. A: यह समान रहेगा क्योंकि यह लंबवत रूप से सममित (symmetrical) है।
  7. e: इसका खुला भाग दाईं ओर हो जाएगा।
  8. R: इसका गोलाकार भाग और पैर बाईं ओर मुड़ जाएंगे।
  9. y: इसकी झुकी हुई रेखा पलट जाएगी।

विकल्प 2 इस उल्टे क्रम और दिशा को सही रूप से दर्शाता है।
