Select the correct mirror imageof the given figure when a mirror is placed on theright side of the figure.

When a vertical plane mirror is kept at the right edge of a figure, every point of the object appears in the image at the same perpendicular distance behind the mirror but with its left-right sense reversed. This phenomenon is called lateral inversion.

Procedure to obtain the mirror image:

(i) Imagine a vertical line along the rightmost outline of the given figure. This is the mirror line.
(ii) For each salient point of the figure, measure its horizontal distance from this mirror line. Plot a corresponding point on the opposite (right-hand) side at the same distance.
(iii) Join the transferred points in the same order as in the object. All parts of the figure that originally faced right will now face left, and vice-versa. Any asymmetrical detail will therefore get laterally inverted.

Examination of the four answer choices:

Case A: Shows several internal elements still facing the original direction; the slant of the central segment is not reversed. Hence it violates lateral inversion and is rejected.

Case B: The extreme left portion is drawn at the wrong horizontal distance from the mirror line, so the overall outline becomes wider than in the object. This cannot be the correct image.

Case C: Every element—outer boundary, slanted lines, and inner markings—appears at exactly the same perpendicular distance from the mirror as required, and all left-right orientations are reversed. This satisfies the construction rules listed above.

Case D: Although the general outline is flipped, one inner segment remains oriented as in the original figure (no reversal of slope). Hence D is also incorrect.

Therefore the only option that correctly represents the mirror image when the mirror is placed on the right side is Option C.

Final Answer: Option C which is: the correctly laterally inverted figure.
