Answers
(1) X

Step 1
We notice that a line of symmetry is shown in the given image.
As we know that a line of symmetry divides a shape into two identical parts.
This means that the image formed on the left side is similar to the image formed on the right side.

Step 2
So, the figures on either side of the mirror are similar and together they form a complete alphabet.

Step 3
Thus, the given alphabet is X.

(2) 4

Step 1
If we look at the figure carefully, we find that we can divide it by drawing a dotted line vertically, horizontally, and dia

Step 2
We find that the dotted line divides the figure such that the its right side exactly fits its left side.

Step 3
Hence, we can say that there are 4 different ways in which we can divide the given figure into two similar halves.

(3) d.

Step 1
On observing the given options carefully, we find:

Step 2
In option a, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 3
In option b, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 4
In option c, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 5
In option d, one part of the image exactly overlaps the other part. Thus, the image is symmetric.

Step 6
From above steps, we may conclude that in option d, the dotted line divides the given shape into
two equal halves.
Hence, option d is the correct answer.

(4) Yes

Step 1
As shown in the given figure, we find that a dotted line divides the figure into two identical parts,
i.e., the figure on each side of the dotted line appears similar to each other.

Step 2
In other words, we can say that the right hand side exactly fits on the left hand side.

Step 3
Therefore, it is true that the dotted line divides the given figure into two mirror halves.

(8) c.

Step 1
On observing the given options carefully, we find:

Step 2
In option a, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 3
In option b, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 4
In option c, one part of the image exactly overlaps the other part. Thus, the image is symmetric.

Step 5
In option d, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 6
From above steps, we may conclude that in option c, the dotted line divides the given shape into
two equal halves.
Hence, option c is the correct answer.

(9) No

Step 1
As shown in the given figure, we find that a dotted line divides the figure into two different parts,
i.e., the figure on each side of the dotted line appears different to each other.

Step 2
In other words, we can say that the right hand side is different from the left hand side.

Step 3
Therefore, it is false that the dotted line divides the given figure into two mirror halves.
