Question

Images of consonants of the English alphabet (Capitals) are observed in a mirror. What is the number of images of these which do not look like their original shapes ? 

(a) 13

(b) 14

(c) 15

(d) 16

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) 14

All the consonants of the English alphabet are:

B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z

So, there are a total of 21 consonants.

The number of consonants whose images look like them are: 

H, M, T, V, W, X and Y

Therefore, there are a total of 7 such consonants.

Hence, the number of consonants whose images do not look like them = 21 - 7 = 14.
