Select the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at MN as shown below.

To find the correct mirror image of the given figure when the mirror is placed at the right side (along the line MN), we need to apply the rules of lateral inversion (reflection):

1. Reversal of Order: The sequence of the characters reverses from left-to-right. The rightmost character in the original figure becomes the leftmost character in the mirror image, and the leftmost character becomes the rightmost.
2. Horizontal Flipping (Lateral Inversion): Each individual character is flipped horizontally. That is, the left side of each character appears on the right, and the right side appears on the left. Vertical orientation remains unchanged.

Let's analyze the string y T f r 9 3 n character-by-character from right to left:

• n: Being the rightmost character, it becomes the first character on the left in the reflection. In the mirror image, its vertical stem is on the right, and the curve arches to the left.
• 3: It becomes the second character from the left. Its curves face towards the left, looking like Ɛ.
• 9: It becomes the third character from the left. Its circular loop is on the top-right, and the tail curves downwards to the left.
• r: It becomes the fourth character from the left. Its vertical stem is on the right, with the top hook pointing to the left.
• f: It becomes the fifth character from the left. Its vertical stem is on the right, the top curve bends to the left, and the crossbar points to the left.
• T: It becomes the sixth character from the left. Since T has vertical symmetry, its mirror image remains unchanged.
• y: Being the leftmost character in the original image, it becomes the rightmost character in the reflection. Its long tail points downwards and to the right.

By comparing these points with the given options:
• Option 1: Contains an incorrect number of characters and incorrect letters.
• Option 2: Shows all characters in the correct order and correctly laterally inverted.
• Option 3: Several characters like n, 9, 3, and r are not mirrored.
• Option 4: Several characters like n, r, and y are not mirrored.

Therefore, Option 2 is the correct mirror image.
