Question

Images of vowels of the capital English alphabets are observed in a mirror. What is the number of images of these vowels that look like their original shapes?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 2

Hint:

Remember: Only certain letters such as A, E, I, and O maintain their original shape when viewed in a mirror.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The number of capital English alphabet vowels (A, E, I, O, U) that retain their original appearance when reflected in a mirror is determined by assessing each vowel's symmetry:

• A: Exhibits vertical symmetry; its mirror image is identical to the original.
• E: Lacks vertical symmetry; its mirror image differs from the original.
• I: Exhibits vertical symmetry; its mirror image is identical to the original.
• O: Possesses both vertical and horizontal symmetry, resulting in an identical mirror image.
• U: Exhibits vertical symmetry; its mirror image is identical to the original.

The vowels 'A', 'I', 'O', and 'U' maintain their original forms when mirrored. Consequently, 4 vowels retain their original appearance in a mirror.
