Q1: Which of the following letters has only one line of symmetry?
a) A
b) H
c) X
d) O
Ans: a) A
Explanation:
A has only 1 vertical line of symmetry. H has 2 (vertical and horizontal), X has 2 diagonal lines, and O has infinite lines of symmetry.
Q2: Which of the following shapes has no line of symmetry?
a) Rectangle
b) Equilateral triangle
c) Scalene triangle
d) Square
Ans: c) Scalene triangle
Explanation:
A scalene triangle has no equal sides or angles, so it has no line of symmetry. The others have at least one.
Q3: A square has how many lines of symmetry?
a) 2
b) 4
c) 6
d) 8
Ans: b) 4
Explanation:
A square has 4 lines of symmetry: 2 diagonals and 2 midlines (horizontal and vertical).
Q4: Which of the following objects is most likely to have rotational symmetry?
a) A leaf
b) A clock
c) A brick
d) A pencil
Ans: b) A clock
Explanation:
A clock can be rotated by multiples of 30° and look the same, giving it rotational symmetry of order 12.
Q5: Which shape has exactly two lines of symmetry that are vertical and horizontal?
a) Rectangle
b) Rhombus
c) Equilateral triangle
d) Circle
Ans: a) Rectangle
Explanation:
A rectangle has exactly two lines of symmetry — one vertical and one horizontal.
A rhombus has two lines of symmetry, but these are along the diagonals, not vertical/horizontal.
Q6: Which of the following figures has infinite lines of symmetry?
a) Triangle
b) Square
c) Circle
d) Pentagon
Ans: c) Circle
Explanation:
A circle can be folded along any diameter and still match perfectly, so it has infinite lines of symmetry.
