Q. Images of consonants of the English alphabet (Capitals) are observed in a mirror. What is the number of images of these which do not look like their original shapes?

Explanation : 

Mirror images of consonants of the english alphabet

To determine the number of consonant letters in the English alphabet whose mirror images do not resemble their original shapes, follow these steps:

1. Identify the Consonants:

The English alphabet consists of 26 letters. The vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. Sometimes Y is considered a vowel, but typically it’s treated as a consonant in such contexts.
Consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z
Total Consonants: 21

2. Determine Symmetrical Letters:

A letter is considered symmetrical if its mirror image is identical to the original. For capital letters, the following consonants are symmetrical:

– Symmetrical Consonants: H, M, T, V, W, X, Y
Total Symmetrical Consonants: 7

3. Calculate Non-Symmetrical Consonants:

Subtract the number of symmetrical consonants from the total number of consonants to find the number of non-symmetrical consonants.

Non-Symmetrical Consonants: 21 (total) – 7 (symmetrical) = 14
Answer: (b) 14
