MIRROR IMAGE
The reflection of an object into the mirror is called mirror image or we can say that the figure obtained by
putting a mirror in front of the real figure is called mirror image.
The questions based on mirror image are divided in two parts, i.e. first part which is known as question
figure and in second part there is four answer figures. The student is required to find out the correct mirror
image of the given problem figure.
While solving the problems, the students should follow some points
˜ If the position of mirror is not clear in the question, then use the mirror at the right side of an object.

˜ In the mirror image of an object lower and upper part remain constant while left and right get

interchanged.
˜ In mirror image left part of an object becomes right part and right part becomes left part.
