Question 51.


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' when rotated by an angle of 180 will look exactly the same as before. 
Thus, it has rotational symmetry of order 2. 
The letter S does not exhibit line symmetry.


Question 52.


Which of the following is correct with respect to reflection symmetry of letters of the English alphabets?


  1.     Letters A, H, I, M and W have reflection symmetry about a vertical mirror.
  2.     Letters B, C, D, E and H have reflection symmetry about a horizontal mirror.
  3.     Letters O and X have reflection symmetry about both horizontal and vertical mirrors.
  4.     All of the above.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above.
:
D

A shape has line symmetry when one half of it is the mirror image of the other half. A mirror line helps us visualise line symmetry.


If a mirror is kept vertically passing through the centre of letters A, H, I, M and W, the exact same reflection appears.
If a mirror is kept horizontally passing through the centre of letters B, C, D, E and H, the exact same reflection appears.


Similarly, letters O and X have reflection symmetry about both horizontal and vertical mirrors.


Question 53.


Order of rotational symmetry of the letter X about the point of intersection of the lines is


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All of the above.
:

Order of rotational symmetry of the letter X about the point of intersection of the lines is 2.


Question 54.


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 55.


Order of rotational symmetry for a scalene triangle is 


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

No two sides in a scalene triangle are equal. So, it's not a symmetrical figure. Any object that occupies the same position after a rotation of 360 has a rotational symmetry of order 1.


Question 56.


Order of rotational symmetry of an equilateral triangle about the centroid of the triangle is


___
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

Order of rotational symmetry of an equilateral triangle about the centroid of the triangle is 3.


Question 57.


Letter C has rotational symmetry of order more than 1.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     2n
  4.     n - 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

If we rotate a figure about a fixed point by a fixed angle (other than 360) and obtain the same figure, then it is said to have rotational symmetry of order more than 1.
The letter C does not have rotational symmetry of order more than 1 as it can be rotated only by an angle of 360 to come back to its original position.


Question 58.


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 59.


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 60.


A figure with angle of rotation as 17 has rotational symmetry of order more than 1. Say true or false.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     2n
  4.     n - 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

False. As 36017 is not a natural number, a figure can not have an angle of rotation as 17.
