Mirror Image / Vertical Plane in Reasoning



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.
