John was driving his car. In the rear-view mirror, he saw that a vehicle was just behind his car. He was able to read the word on the vehicle.
Which of the following figures is inscribed on the vehicle?
The correct option is B
The rear view mirror of a vehicle is simply a convex mirror. A convex mirror forms virtual images smaller than the object. It is the property of a mirror that it always forms laterally inverted images.
Therefore, all asymmetric letters in the English alphabet get laterally inverted when viewed in a mirror.
When the figure 
is viewed in a convex mirror, it appears as the word 
(as shown in the given figure).
Hence, the figure actually inscribed on the vehicle is larger than what John saw in the car’s rear view mirror. The correct figure is shown in alternative B only.
