Answers
(1) a. One

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 One.

(2) c. Two

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 Two.

(3) c. E

Step 1
Here, we have to find the letter of the English alphabet with a horizontal line of symmetry.

Step 2
For this, let us draw the horizontal lines on each of the given letters.

Letter A:

A
Horizontal line

Letter Q:

Q
Horizontal line

Letter E:

E
Horizontal line

Step 3
Let us imagine folding each letter given above along the dotted lines.

If the two sides match exactly, the dotted line makes the line of symmetry and the letter become
symmetrical.

Step 4
We observe that the horizontal line on the letter E acts as the line of symmetry.

So, E has a horizontal line of symmetry.

(4) a. D

Step 1
Brian folds the pattern shown below, to form a cube.
E A F
B
C
D
After folding, if we fix 'B' at the bottom, 'D' will be at the top.

Step 2
Therefore, 'D' will be opposite to the letter 'B'.

Step 3
Hence, option a is the correct answer.

(5) a. 2

Step 1
We know that the lines which divide an 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 following triangle is the line of symmetry.

Step 2

Hence, there are 2 lines of symmetry in the given box.

(6) a.

Step 1
If we look at a cube from the top, we observe that a cube has 4 continuous faces, i.e. 1, 2, 3 and 4, and
two side faces i.e. 5 and 6.

Step 2
On observing the given options, we see that option a. has four squares along the column that will cover
the continuous four faces of the cube, and two squares on either side of the column that will cover the
two side squares.

Step 3
Hence, the figure given in option a. can be used to completely cover the cube if we fold along the lines.

(7) b.

Step 1
On observing the given options carefully, we find:

Step 2
In option a, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 3
In option b, one part of the image exactly overlaps the other part. Thus, the image is symmetric.

Step 4
In option c, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 5
In option d, one part of the image does not exactly overlap the other part. Thus, the image is non-
symmetric.

Step 6
From above steps, we may conclude that in option b, the dotted line divides the given shape into two
equal halves.
Hence, option b is the correct answer.

(8) c. I

Step 1
Here, we have to find the letter of the English alphabet with both horizontal and vertical line of
symmetry.

Step 2
For this, let us draw the horizontal and the vertical lines on each of the given letter.

Letter B:

B B
Horizontal line Vertical line

Letter L:

L L
Horizontal line Vertical line

Letter I:

I I
Horizontal line Vertical line

Letter W:

W W
Horizontal line Vertical line

Step 3
Let us imagine folding each letter given above along the dotted lines.
If the two sides match exactly, the dotted line is the line of symmetry and the letter is symmetrical.

Step 4
We observe that the horizontal and the vertical line on the letter I acts as the line of symmetry.
So, the letter I has both horizontal and vertical line of symmetry.

(9) A) No

Step 1
As shown in the given figure, we find that a dotted line divides the figure into two different
parts, i.e., the figure on each side of the dotted line appears different to each other.

Step 2
In other words, we can say that the right hand side is different from the left hand side.

Step 3
Therefore, it is false that the dotted line divides the given figure into two mirror halves.

(10) 0

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 0.
