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





In mirror images, the element closest to the mirror appears first and inverted horizontally; look for the lateral inversion of each character starting from the right (the 'w').

Analyze the sequence
The original string is '4 T e d w'. The mirror is placed vertically to the right (MN). Therefore, the character 'w' will appear first in the reflection, followed by 'd', 'e', 'T', and '4', each laterally inverted.
Character-wise reflection
Mirroring each character individually: 'w' remains 'w', 'd' becomes 'b', 'e' becomes a reversed 'e' (mirror 'e'), 'T' remains 'T', and '4' becomes a mirrored '4'.
Assemble the sequence
The order of characters becomes: w + b + (mirrored e) + T + (mirrored 4). Matching this sequence: 'w' is followed by 'b', then the inverted 'e', then 'T', and finally the mirrored '4'.
A: The order is incorrect as it keeps the original letter sequence 'm d e T 4'. C: Shows 'w b e T 4' but the letter 'e' is not inverted correctly. D: The order is incorrect as it starts with 'm' (not 'w') and mirrors the original sequence incorrectly.
B is correct because the mirror image correctly reverses the sequence of the letters '4 T e d w' to 'w b (mirrored e) T (mirrored 4)' while applying horizontal inversion to each character.
For mirror images, always check the first and last elements first to eliminate options quickly; if the mirror is on the right, the last character of the original word must be the first character of the image.
