Question
Find the figure that correctly represents the water image of the given figure from the options provided below.
MARKET
- A. MARKET
- B. MARKET (Correct answer)
- C. MARKET
- D. MARKET
Correct Answer
Option B — MARKET (water image)
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Option B.
Key Points
- A water image is a reflection in a horizontal surface: the figure is flipped top-to-bottom, while the left-to-right order of the letters stays unchanged.
- So M-A-R-K-E-T must still read M-A-R-K-E-T from left to right, with every letter inverted vertically.
- Option B is the only choice in which all six letters are inverted and the sequence is preserved.
Additional Information
- Option A shows the word rotated through 180° — the letters are inverted *and* the order is reversed, which is a rotation, not a water image.
- Option C is the near-miss: the last four letters are inverted but the initial M and A are left upright, so the reflection is not consistent across the word.
- Option D is the mirror image — a left-to-right reflection, which reverses the letter order to read TEKRAM.
- Quick rule: a mirror image reverses the order of the letters; a water image keeps the order and flips each letter upside down.
