NIMCET 2024
If by rearranging the letters of the word NABMODINT a name of a game is formed, what would be the first and last letters of the mirror image of the name of the game?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)View answer ▾Hide ▴
Answer: Option D — N, B
Detailed Solution
NABMODINT rearranges to BADMINTON.
In a mirror placed to the right of the word, the order of the letters is reversed (and each letter is flipped), so the image reads NOTNIMDAB from left to right.
The first letter of the image is N and the last is B.
✓ Check
The last letter of BADMINTON, N, is nearest the mirror, so it appears first in the image.⚠ Common trap
(B) B, N are the first and last letters of the word itself, without the mirror reversal.Quick tip
A mirror on the right reverses the letter order, so the first and last letters swap

Mirror and Water Image — Preparation
This question tests your understanding of Mirror and Water Image, a key topic in the Logical Reasoning section. The detailed solution above uses a step-by-step approach to show the reasoning, and where available, a shortcut that helps you solve similar questions in under 90 seconds during the actual exam.
Mirror and water image questions test your ability to visualise reflections. A mirror image is the reflection of a figure, word or number in a vertical mirror placed beside it, so left and right are swapped while top and bottom stay the same. A water image is the reflection in water below the object, so top and bottom are swapped while left and right stay the same. Questions ask you to find the correct mirror or water image of a word, number, clock or figure. For letters, remember that some letters look the same in a vertical mirror (A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y) and some look the same in a water reflection (B, C, D, E, H, I, K, O, X). For clock questions, the time shown in a mirror is 11:60 minus the actual time. A quick sketch is the most reliable method for complex figures. Practise the mirror and water image questions below.
