Which option shows the given figure turned 90 degrees anticlockwise?

Correct answer: D. Triangle pointing up at bottom left; small line (vertical) at top left; line (vertical) at middle left; small solid semicircle pointing up-right at top centre

  • A. Triangle pointing down at top left; small line (vertical) at bottom left; line (vertical) at middle left; small solid semicircle pointing down-right at bottom centre
  • B. Triangle pointing left at bottom right; small line (horizontal) at bottom left; line (horizontal) at bottom centre; small solid semicircle pointing up-left at middle left
  • C. Triangle pointing up at bottom left; small line (vertical) at top left; line (vertical) at middle left; small solid semicircle pointing down-right at top centre
  • D. Triangle pointing up at bottom left; small line (vertical) at top left; line (vertical) at middle left; small solid semicircle pointing up-right at top 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 a water image of the turned figure, which no turn can produce. B is the figure turned through a half turn instead. C has one element moved round with the turn but not turned itself.
