Which option shows the given figure turned 90 degrees anticlockwise?

Correct answer: D. Solid star at top centre; triangle pointing right at middle left; small star at top left

  • A. Solid star at top centre; triangle pointing left at middle right; small star at top right
  • B. Solid star at bottom centre; triangle pointing left at middle right; small star at bottom right
  • C. Solid star at middle left; triangle pointing up at bottom centre; small star at bottom left
  • D. Solid star at top centre; triangle pointing right at middle left; small star at top left

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 a mirror image of the turned figure, which no turn can produce. B is the figure turned through a quarter turn clockwise instead. C is the figure turned through a half turn instead.
