Answers
(1) a. None

Step 1
We know that the lines which divide any image into two pieces such that the two become mirror images
of each other are called lines of symmetry.
For example : the line in the given triangle is the line of symmetry.

Step 2

Now, if we look at the given figure carefully, we notice that the number of lines of symmetry are None.

(2) a. I

Step 1
Here, we have to find the letter of the English alphabet with a horizontal line of symmetry.

Step 2
For this, let us draw a horizontal line on each of the given letters.

Letter I:

I
Letter F:

F
Letter T:

T
Step 3
Let us imagine folding each letter given above along the dotted line.

If the two sides match exactly, the dotted line makes the line of symmetry and the letter becomes
symmetrical.

Step 4
We observe that the horizontal line on the letter I acts as the line of symmetry.

So, I has a horizontal line of symmetry.

(3) c.

Step 1
We know that a perfect reflection is a flip over the line such that the object distance from the line is
same as the image distance from the line and the size of the image is equal to the size of the object.

Step 2
Now, if we look at the all the options carefully, we will notice that the pair which shows such a reflection
over the line is:

Step 3
Hence, option c is the correct answer.

(4) b. Four

Step 1
We know that the lines which divide any image into two pieces such that the two become mirror images
of each other are called lines of symmetry.
For example : the line in the given triangle is the line of symmetry.

Step 2

Now, if we look at the given figure carefully, we notice that the number of lines of symmetry are Four.

(5) b.

Step 1
If we look at the all the images carefully, we notice that the image

is the mirror image of the given image.

Hence, we can say that it shows the reflection of the given image over the dotted line.

Step 2
Hence, option b is the correct answer.

(6) d.

Step 1
We know that a perfect reflection is a flip over the line such that the object distance from the line is
same as the image distance from the line and the size of the image is equal to the size of the object.

Step 2
Now, if we look at the all the options carefully, we will notice that the pair which shows such a reflection
over the line is:

Step 3
Hence, option d is the correct answer.

(7) A) 4

Step 1
We know that the lines which divide an image into two pieces such that the two become
mirror images of each other are called lines of symmetry.
For example, the line in the following triangle is the line of symmetry.

Step 2

Hence, there are 4 lines of symmetry in the given box.

B) 4

Step 1
We know that the lines which divide an image into two pieces such that the two become
mirror images of each other are called lines of symmetry.
For example, the line in the following triangle is the line of symmetry.

Step 2

Hence, there are 4 lines of symmetry in the given box.

(8) Circle

Step 1
The shape of the complete figure after adding the mirror image is :

Step 2
Hence, we get a Circle after adding the mirror image.

(9) Four

Step 1
The lines which divide any image into two parts in such a manner that the two parts become mirror
images of each other are called lines of symmetry.

Step 2
The lines of symmetry for a square are shown in the figure below.
Hence, a square has four lines of symmetry.
