Find the figure from Image Y that best represents the folded version of the transparent sheet in Image X along the dotted line.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
When the transparent sheet is folded downwards along the horizontal dotted line, the elements of the top half undergo a vertical reflection (reflection across a horizontal axis):
• The dot (•) is vertically symmetric and remains a dot.
• The right-pointing chevron (>) has a horizontal line of symmetry, so its vertical reflection is still >.
Since the symbols in the top half (• >>) and the bottom half (• >>) are identical and aligned vertically, they completely overlap each other when folded.
Therefore, the folded bottom half displays • >>, which matches Figure B.
