Select the correct mirror image of the given combination when the mirror is placed at ‘PQ’ as shown.

The correct answer is Option 1.

The question shows the combination of characters: c x Y L R g b, with a vertical mirror line PQ placed to the right of this combination.

Key Rule for a Vertical Mirror:

When a mirror is placed vertically to the right of a figure or text:
1. The order of characters reverses — the rightmost character appears first (leftmost) in the mirror image.
2. Each character that is horizontally asymmetric gets its shape flipped left-to-right.
3. Characters that are horizontally symmetric (like X, Y, x) remain the same.

Step 1 — Reverse the order of the characters:

Original: c   x   Y   L   R   g   b
Reversed: b   g   R   L   Y   x   c

Step 2 — Flip each character horizontally:

• b → flipped horizontally → d (the bump moves from the right side to the left side)
• g → flipped horizontally → q (the tail curls to the opposite side)
• R → flipped horizontally → Я (the leg of R points to the left)
• L → flipped horizontally → ⌐ (the foot of L points to the left instead of right)
• Y → flipped horizontally → Y (Y is symmetric, stays the same)
• x → flipped horizontally → x (x is symmetric, stays the same)
• c → flipped horizontally → ɔ (the opening faces right instead of left)

Step 3 — Write the final mirror image sequence (left to right):

d   q   Я   ⌐   Y   x   ɔ

This is the correct mirror image of the original combination c x Y L R g b when reflected in a vertical mirror placed at PQ on the right.

Why the other options are wrong:
• Options that show 6 instead of q for the letter g are incorrect — the mirror of g is q, not the digit 6.
• Options that show a distorted or wrong form of Y (like Ж) are incorrect — since Y is horizontally symmetric, it must remain Y.
• Options where the character order is not fully reversed or individual flips are missing are also incorrect.
