Practice Questions Mirror and Water Images - Science Olympiad Class 6 PDF

Q1: Direction: Find the mirror images of the words given below.
PAINTED
(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (b)

Explanation: When a word is seen in a vertical mirror, the left and right sides swap. Check the order of letters from left to right: the first letter in the original becomes the last in the mirror image and each letter appears as its left-right reflection. Option (b) correctly shows this left-right reversal of the word and the shapes of the letters as mirror images, so (b) is correct.
Q2: Direction: Find the mirror images of the words given below.
QUALITY
(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (b)

Explanation: A vertical mirror reverses the left and right positions of letters. To check, compare where the first and last letters appear in each option and whether asymmetrical letters are flipped. Option (b) matches the correct reversed order and mirrored shapes of the letters in QUALITY, so (b) is the mirror image.
Q3: Identify the mirror image of the figure

(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Ans: (a)

Explanation: For figure mirrors, locate any asymmetrical parts (for example, a small mark, a tilted element or an opening) and see which side they move to after reflection. A vertical mirror swaps left and right positions while keeping up and down the same. Option (a) shows the correct left-right reversal of those distinctive features and so is the correct reflection.
Q4: Identify the reflection of the given image, if the mirror is placed exactly vertical to the right of the given image

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (d)
Explanation: When the mirror is on the right, the image appears as if the object's left side and right side are swapped; parts near the object's left move to the right in the image. Compare the positions of any unique features and choose the option that shows this left-right swap. Option (d) matches the correct positions of those features and so is the correct reflection.
Q5: Identify the mirror image of the given figure if the mirror is placed vertically to the left of the figure.

(a)

 
(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (a)
Explanation: With the mirror to the left, the image's left and right are swapped compared with the original. Look for any asymmetric marks or the direction of slants and see which option shows them on the opposite side; option (a) shows the correct left-right reversal and so is the mirror image.
Q6: Identify the correct mirror image of the figure for the following combination of letters and numbers if the mirror is placed along the line MN.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (d)
Explanation: If the mirror is along MN, reflect every element across that line so left becomes right relative to MN while top and bottom remain unchanged. Check where letters and numbers move across MN; option (d) correctly shows all elements flipped across the mirror line and therefore is correct.
Q7: Identify the mirror image of the figure

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (d)

Explanation: Find an asymmetric detail in the given figure and note which side it appears on in each option. A mirror placed vertically will swap left and right positions only. Option (d) places those asymmetric details on the opposite side exactly as a mirror would, so (d) is correct.
Q8: Identify the mirror image of the figure

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (d)


Explanation: A mirror image reverses left and right. Compare where distinguishing parts of the figure move in each option; option (d) shows those parts on the opposite side, matching the expected mirror reversal, so it is correct.
Q9: Identify the mirror of the figure

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (a)

Explanation: To select the mirror, look for the option where the left and right sides of the original figure are exchanged while up and down remain the same. Option (a) correctly displays this left-right exchange of distinguishing features and is therefore the mirror image.
Q10: Identify the mirror image of the figure

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Ans: (d)

Explanation: A vertical mirror swaps left and right. Check which option places any asymmetric marks or directional elements on the opposite side compared with the original. Option (d) matches this left-right reversal consistently and so is the correct mirror image.
