Solution

The correct option is B

n1


Angles of rotation of a regular polygon with ‘n’ sides = Y = n – 1

This is because the last rotation, i.e. 360 is not counted as an angle of rotation. If it was counted as an angle of rotation, every object would have an angle of rotation.

So, angles of rotation for a square are 90, 180 and 270. It’s only 3, not 4.
