Which option shows the given figure turned 90 degrees anticlockwise?
Correct answer: D. Small triangle pointing up-right at middle right; arrow pointing down-right at top centre; solid triangle pointing up at bottom centre; small triangle pointing up-right at top left; dot at centre
- A. Small triangle pointing up-left at top centre; arrow pointing up-right at middle left; solid triangle pointing left at middle right; small triangle pointing up-left at bottom left; dot at centre
- B. Small triangle pointing down-right at middle right; arrow pointing up-right at bottom centre; solid triangle pointing down at top centre; small triangle pointing down-right at bottom left; dot at centre
- C. Small triangle pointing down-right at middle right; arrow pointing down-right at top centre; solid triangle pointing up at bottom centre; small triangle pointing up-right at top left; dot at centre
- D. Small triangle pointing up-right at middle right; arrow pointing down-right at top centre; solid triangle pointing up at bottom centre; small triangle pointing up-right at top left; dot at 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 D is the only one where every element has changed this way. A is the figure turned through a half turn instead. B 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.
