The correct option is
B ACBReflection along the x-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→JKLReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→GHIReflection along the x-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→DEF We will check all the options one-by-one to get the correct sequence of transformations that relates all the four triangles.
In option A:
DEFReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→JKLReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→GHIReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→ACB
The above image shows the reflection of
DEF along the y-axis that produces image
ACB and not
JKL as given in the option.
The above image shows the reflection of
JKL along the y-axis that produces the image
GHI.
The above image shows the reflection of
GHI along the y-axis, which produces the image
JKL and not
ACB as given in the option.
This sequence produces one correct image and two incorrect images obtained after the transformations.
Thus, this sequence is incorrect.
In option B:
GHIReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→DEFReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→ACBReflection along the x-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→JKL
The above image shows the reflection of
GHI along the y-axis, which produces the image
JKL and not
DEF as given in the option.
The above image shows the reflection of
DEF along the y-axis that produces the image
ACB.
The above image shows the reflection of
ACB along the x-axis which produces the image
JKL.
This sequence produces two correct images and one incorrect image obtained after the transformations.
Thus, this sequence is incorrect.
In option C :
JKLReflection along the x-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→ACBReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→DEFReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→GHI
The above image shows the reflection of
JKL along the x-axis that produces the image
ACB.
The above image shows the reflection of
ACB along the y-axis that produces the image
DEF.
The above image shows the reflection of
DEF along the y-axis that produces the image
ACB and not
GHI.
This sequence produces two correct images and one incorrect image obtained after the transformations.
Thus, this sequence is incorrect.
In option D:
ACBReflection along the x-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→JKLReflection along the y-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→GHIReflection along the x-axis−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−→DEF
The above image shows the reflection of
ACB along the x-axis that produces the image
JKL.
The above image shows the reflection of
JKL along the y-axis that produces the image
GHI.
The above image shows the reflection of
GHI along the x-axis that produces the image
DEF.
This sequence produces all three correct images obtained after the transformations.
Thus, this sequence is correct.
➡Option D is correct.
