GMA Mirror Images and Embedded Figures 2

Question 1

A clock shows 3:20. What time does its mirror image show?

Accepted Answer

9:40

Answer

When a clock face is mirrored horizontally, 3:20 becomes 8:40; the mirror of the 3-hour hand points near 9, and 20 minutes mirrors to 40.

Question 2

A letter 'F' is placed in front of a mirror on its right side. Which image correctly shows the mirror reflection?

Accepted Answer

A reversed F (flipped horizontally)

Answer

A vertical mirror on the right side flips the letter horizontally, producing a reversed F.

Question 3

If you place the word 'MOM' in front of a vertical mirror, which result do you see?

Accepted Answer

MOM

Answer

MOM is horizontally symmetric, so its mirror image looks identical to the original.

Question 4

An arrow points to the upper-right. In a horizontal mirror (mirror placed below), which direction does the reflected arrow point?

Accepted Answer

Lower-right

Answer

A horizontal mirror flips top and bottom, so an upper-right arrow becomes a lower-right arrow.

Question 5

Which of the following figures is most likely to be an 'embedded figure' task in a GMA test?

Accepted Answer

Finding a simple triangle hidden inside a complex geometric pattern

Answer

Embedded figures tasks specifically require locating a simple shape concealed within a larger, complex design.
