Question 11. The letter S has ___.
  1.    line symmetry
  2.    rotational symmetry
  3.    both line and rotational symmetry
  4.    no symmetry
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> rotational symmetry
:
B
The letter 'S' whenrotated by an angle of 180will look exactly the same as before.
Thus, it has rotational symmetry of order 2.
The letter S does not exhibit line symmetry.
Question 12. Letters H, O and Z have both line symmetry and rotational symmetry. Say true or false.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    2n
  4.    n - 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Letters H and O have both line symmetry and rotational symmetry. Z has only rotational symmetry.
Question 13. Diameter is the line of symmetry of a circle. (True or False)
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    2n
  4.    n - 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The statement is true.Diameter is the line of symmetry of a circle.
Question 14. Diameter is the line of symmetry of a circle. (True or False)
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    2n
  4.    n - 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
The statement is true.Diameter is the line of symmetry of a circle.
Question 15. An 'n'-sided regular polygon has ____ lines of symmetry.
  1.    n + 1
  2.    n
  3.    2n
  4.    n - 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> n
:
B
A regular polygon has as many lines of symmetry as the number of sides it has.
So, an 'n'-sided regular polygon has 'n' lines of symmetry.
Question 16. An 'n'-sided regular polygon has ____ lines of symmetry.
  1.    n + 1
  2.    n
  3.    2n
  4.    n - 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> n
:
B
A regular polygon has as many lines of symmetry as the number of sides it has.
So, an 'n'-sided regular polygon has 'n' lines of symmetry.
Question 17. How many angles of rotation a regular polygon will have if it has ‘n’ sides?
  1.    n
  2.    n−1
  3.    n+1
  4.    n2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> n−1
:
B
Angles of rotation of a regular polygon with ‘n’ sides = Y = n – 1
This is because the last rotation, i.e. 360 is not counted as an angle of rotation. If it was counted as an angle of rotation, every object would have an angle of rotation.
So, angles of rotation for a square are 90, 180 and 270. It’s only 3, not 4.
Question 18. Rotational symmetry and radial symmetry have same meanings. Is the statement True or False?
  1.    True
  2.    False
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Rotational symmetry in biological sense is known as radial symmetry. They are things with same meaning but different names.
It is just like mirror/reflection symmetry.
Question 19. If the order of symmetry of the first image is ‘A’ and the second image is ‘B’. Find the value of A + B.
If The Order Of Symmetry Of The First Image Is ‘A’ And T...
___
 Discuss Question

:
A wind mill has order 3 rotational symmetry. Did you notice that after the third rotation, it looks exactly as it looked at the start? We got total of three instances where the wind mill looked exactly like as the start.
The key-point is the final position of any object, after 360° rotation will always look like the initial object. So, every object will have rotational symmetry of order 1.
Let us move on to the question now.
If The Order Of Symmetry Of The First Image Is ‘A’ And T...
In 1, for 360° rotation, we have two instances where it looks like the starting position. That is after 180° and after 360°. So, the order is 2 which will be the value of ‘A’.
But fig. 2 has order 1 because it only repeats itself after 360° rotation. So, B = 1.
That means A + B = 2 + 1 = 3
Question 20. <Two friends arguing>
Arjun: If a figure can be folded along any line such that one half superimposes the other, it is known as symmetric figure.
Shubh: If you can find a line in the figure which divides it in identical parts, then the figure is always symmetric.
  1.    Both Arjun and Shubh are right
  2.    Arjun is right and Shubh is wrong
  3.    Arjun is wrong and Shubh is right
  4.    Both Arjun and Shubh are wrong
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Arjun is right and Shubh is wrong
:
B
If a figure can be folded along any line such that one half superimposes or aligns exactly with the other, it is known as symmetric figure.
For example: If you take a square and fold it across the line shown, part 1 exactly overlaps part 2. So, square is a symmetric figure.
<Two Friends Arguing>Arjun: If A Figure Can Be Folded ...
On the other hand, in a parallelogram, the diagonal divides it into two congruent triangles (can be proven using SSS congruence condition), i.e.into two equal parts. But those parts don’t superimpose each other when folded across diagonal (as shown in the figure). So, parallelogram is not symmetric.

<Two Friends Arguing>Arjun: If A Figure Can Be Folded ...
Hence, Arjun is right and Shubh is wrong.
