Question

The figure is placed above the surface of water. Which answer figure is its water image?

Answer

Option C

Solution

1. A water image is a reflection in a horizontal surface, so top and bottom swap while left and right stay the same.
2. The triangle, which is at the top left pointing up, moves to the bottom left pointing down.
3. The filled square moves from the bottom right to the top right, and the circle moves from the bottom left to the top left.
4. Option C matches. Option B swaps left and right instead, and option D swaps both.
