Question

Find the figure that correctly represents the water image of the given figure from the options provided below.

MARKET

  1. A. MARKET
  2. B. MARKET (Correct answer)
  3. C. MARKET
  4. 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.
