Question

The order of rotational symmetry in the figure given below is:

• A. $4$
• B. $8$
• C. $6$
• D. Infinitely many

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$6$

Rotational Symmetry: The rotational symmetry of a shape explains that when an object is rotated on its own axis, the shape of the object looks the same. Many geometrical shapes appear to be symmetrical when they are rotated 180 degrees or with some angles, clockwise or anticlockwise. Some of the examples are squares, circles, hexagons, etc.

Order of Rotational Symmetry: In a complete turn of '$360°$', the number of times the figure coincides with its original position is called its order of rotational symmetry.

Here, In the given figure,

In a complete turn of '$360°$‘, the figure coincides ’$6$' times with its original position.

So, the order of rotational symmetry for this figure is '$6$'

Therefore, the correct option is C.
