Practice 25 Non Verbal Reasoning questions on Mirror Images, covering mirror-image identification, left-right reversal, and position-based figure reasoning. Each question shows a figure (X) with a mirror line MN beside it, followed by four alternatives (1), (2), (3) and (4). Choose the alternative that correctly shows the mirror image of figure (X) in the line MN.
Question 1
This time the mirror MN is placed to the LEFT of the 3x3 grid figure (X) shown in the diagram below. Select the option that correctly shows its mirror image.
Explanation
When a mirror is placed vertically along MN, the whole figure undergoes a lateral inversion: the grid lines themselves look the same (a uniform grid is unchanged by reflection), but the diagonal line and the shaded cell both swap sides and the diagonal's own slope direction flips.
Option 1 is simply the original grid unchanged.
Option 3 shows the grid flipped top-to-bottom instead, as for a water image, not a side mirror.
Option 4 has the diagonal correctly repositioned and flipped, but the shaded cell was left in its original corner instead of also moving to the mirrored corner.
Option 2 correctly repositions and flips both the diagonal and the shaded cell, so it is the true mirror image.
Option 1 is simply the original grid unchanged.
Option 3 shows the grid flipped top-to-bottom instead, as for a water image, not a side mirror.

A clock shows the time given in figure (X) below, with the mirror MN this time placed to the LEFT of it. Which of the four candidate clocks correctly shows the mirror image?
Explanation
A clock reflected in a vertical mirror has both its hour hand and its minute hand mirrored: a hand sitting at an angle theta clockwise from 12 moves to the angle (360 - theta). This is equivalent to the well-known rule that the mirror time equals 11 hours 60 minutes minus the given time.
Option 1 is simply the original clock (4:20) unchanged.
Option 3 has the hour hand correctly mirrored but the minute hand left at its original angle -- only one hand was reflected.
Option 4 shows the clock reflected as if in water (top-bottom inversion) rather than in a side mirror.
Option 2 correctly mirrors both hands, showing the time 7:40, so it is the true mirror image.
