Answers
(1) 3

Step 1
A shape has Rotational Symmetry if it still looks the same after a rotation.

Step 2

If we look at the image carefully, we notice that the given image still looks the same after 3
rotations.
Hence, the order of rotational symmetry in the given image is 3.

(2) 1

Step 1
We know that the lines which divide any image into two pieces such that the two become mirror
images of each other are called lines of symmetry.

Step 2
All the possible lines of symmetry of the given figure are shown below :

Step 3
Hence, we can say that the given figure has 1 lines of symmetry.

(3) 6

Step 1
A figure has Rotational Symmetry if it still looks the same after a rotation.

Step 2

If we look at the image carefully, we notice that the given image still looks the same after 6
rotations.
Hence, the order of rotational symmetry in the given image is 6.

(4) Two

Step 1
A shape has Rotational Symmetry if it still looks the same after a rotation.
The order of rotational symmetry is the number of times the image comes back to the original
image after taking a complete turn.

Step 2

If we look at the image carefully, we notice that the given image still looks the same in two
rotations.
Therefore, the order of rotational symmetry in the given image is Two.

(5) Infinite

Step 1
The lines which divide any image into two parts in such a manner that the two parts become mirror
images of each other are called lines of symmetry.

Step 2
The lines of symmetry for a circle are shown in the figure below.
Hence, a circle has Infinite lines of symmetry.

(6) 1

Step 1
We know that the lines which divide any image into two pieces such that the two become mirror
images of each other are called lines of symmetry.
For example : the line in the given triangle is the line of symmetry.

Step 2

Now, if we look at the given figure carefully, we notice that the number of lines of symmetry are 1.

(11) 7

Step 1
A figure has Rotational Symmetry if it still looks the same after a rotation.

Step 2

If we look at the image carefully, we notice that the given image still looks the same after 7
rotations.
Hence, the order of rotational symmetry in the given image is 7.

(12) 2

Step 1
A shape has Rotational Symmetry if it still looks the same after a rotation.
The order of rotational symmetry is the number of times the image comes back to the original
image after taking a complete turn.

Step 2

If we look at the image carefully, we notice that the given image still looks the same after 2
rotations.
Hence, the order of rotational symmetry in the given image is 2.

Step 1
A shape has Rotational Symmetry if it still looks the same after a rotation.
The order of rotational symmetry is the number of times the image comes back to the original
image after taking a complete turn.

Step 2

If we look at the image carefully, we notice that the given image still looks the same after 3
rotations.
Hence, the order of rotational symmetry in the given image is 3.

(14) b. W

Step 1
If we draw a vertical line down the middle of a letter such that the two sides become the mirror
images of each other, then we can say that the letter has a vertical line of symmetry.

Step 2
Now, if we look at all the options carefully, we notice that if we draw a vertical line down the middle
of the letter W, the two sides will be mirror images of each other. Hence, we can say that the letter
W has a vertical line of symmetry.

(15) c.

Step 1
We know that a perfect reflection is a flip over the line such that the object distance from the line is
same as the image distance from the line and the size of the image is equal to the size of the
object.

Step 2
Now, if we look at the all the options carefully, we will notice that the pair which shows such a
reflection over the line is:

Step 3
Hence, option c is the correct answer.
