Question

Correct answer
(B) [figure]
Solution
When a transparent sheet is folded along a line, the patterns on one side are reflected onto the other side.
1.The original sheet has a vertical dotted line in the center.
2.The left half contains a pattern resembling a 'V' shape pointing left ().
3.The right half contains a curved line.
4.When the sheet is folded along the dotted line (from left to right, as indicated by the options showing only the right half), the pattern on the left half is horizontally reflected. The '' shape becomes a '' shape on the right half.
5.Superimposing this reflected pattern onto the existing curve on the right half results in the image shown in option (B).
