Mirror Image and Water Image are two different concepts
which helps you to solve Reasoning Problems (especially in Non Verbal
Reasoning). In this post we shall discuss about Mirror Image. This Mirror Image is also called as Vertical Plane.
Have you ever observed your mirror image? Your right becomes Left and
left becomes right.. Right? :P Ok, now there is a technical definition
for Mirror Images in Reasoning. Of course, it too almost similar to what
we known, but with lil extension. Please keep this definition in your
mind. In the mirror image, the RIGHT part of the object appears at
the LEFT side and vice - versa. But the UPPER and LOWER parts remain
constant. Have a look at this Cat to make the concept clear... Lol ;)
Have a look at the Mirror Images of Numbers
Note : The mirror image of number Six "6" is same as the water image of Number "9"
Have a look at the Mirror Images of Alphabets
Have you noticed any special thing above? The actual alphabets and the mirror images of H, I, O and X are
same (their water images too are same). Ofcourse, you may consider A
and W too.. But TECHNICALLY these are not same. Have a closed look.. You
can observe a slight difference between their real and mirror images.
The mirror and water images of the alphabets H, I, O, N and X are same.
What is the advantage of Mirror Images ?
You can use this concept to solve Non Verbal Reasoning problems to track
the movement of things and you also can use this concept to track the
Odd Man Out in Analytical Reasoning.
