Which option shows the given figure turned 90 degrees anticlockwise?

Correct answer: B. Dot at middle right; solid arrow pointing left at bottom left; dot at bottom right; small arrow pointing left at top right; semicircle pointing left at bottom centre

  • A. Dot at middle right; solid arrow pointing left at top left; dot at top right; small arrow pointing left at bottom right; semicircle pointing left at top centre
  • B. Dot at middle right; solid arrow pointing left at bottom left; dot at bottom right; small arrow pointing left at top right; semicircle pointing left at bottom centre
  • C. Dot at middle right; solid arrow pointing left at bottom left; dot at bottom right; small arrow pointing up at top right; semicircle pointing left at bottom centre
  • D. Dot at middle left; solid arrow pointing right at bottom right; dot at bottom left; small arrow pointing right at top left; semicircle pointing right at bottom centre

Explanation

Turning the whole figure through a quarter turn anticlockwise moves every element round the centre by the same amount and turns each element with it, so the figure keeps its shape; only its orientation changes. Option B is the only one where every element has changed this way. A is a water image of the turned figure, which no turn can produce. C has one element moved round with the turn but not turned itself. D is a mirror image of the turned figure, which no turn can produce.
