Water Images - Clocks 

The reflection of an object, as seen in water, is called its water image. It is the inverted image obtained by turning the object upside down.

Water Images is an important section of reasoning ability section. In the following section we will see many examples from the water images section. The whole point of water images is to check the ability of the student to invert images or to map them as if they were seeing a reflection. Let us see how we solve water images and what different questions appear in the exams.

The reflection of an object into the water is its water image. It appears by inverting an object vertically i.e. upside down. The water image of the figure looks like the mirror image of the figure in case  the mirror is  horizontally at the bottom of the figure.

There are certain questions in which the positions of the hour - hand and the minute - hand of a clock as seen in a water are given. On the basis of the time indicated by the water - image of the clock we have to detect the actual time in the clock. In the solution of such questions.

Illustration 1 : In the following question, choose the correct water-image of the figure. from amongst the four alternatives (a), (b), (c),  and (d) given. Identify the correct water image

(a)                        (b)                   (c)                     (d) 

Answer : (b)

Solution :  In the above question the water image of      is  as follows  :

The reflection of an object into the water is its water image. It appears by inverting an object vertically i.e. upside down. The water image of the figure looks like the mirror image of the figure in case  the mirror is  horizontally at the bottom of the figure.

The big one is minute hand and small one is hour hand.If, The hand present in side than it shift towards bottom, if the hand present on bottom than it shift towards top side, means both sides are interchanged.But, the left and right side remains same.

Illustration 2 : In the following question, choose the correct water-image of the figure. from amongst the four alternatives (a), (b), (c),  and (d) given. Identify the correct water image

(a)                    (b)                 (c)                   (d)    

Answer : (c)

Solution : In the above question the water image of      is  as follows :

The reflection of an object into the water is its water image. It appears by inverting an object vertically i.e. upside down. The water image of the figure looks like the mirror image of the figure in case  the mirror is  horizontally at the bottom of the figure.

The big one is minute hand and small one is hour hand.If, The hand present in side than it shift towards bottom, if the hand present on bottom than it shift towards top side, means both sides are interchanged.But, the left and right side remains same.

Illustration 3 : In the following question, choose the correct water-image of the figure. from amongst the four alternatives (a), (b), (c),  and (d) given. Identify the correct water image

(a)                        (b)                             (c)                                 (d)  

Answer : (a)

In the above question the water image of    is  as follows :

The reflection of an object into the water is its water image. It appears by inverting an object vertically i.e. upside down. The water image of the figure looks like the mirror image of the figure in case  the mirror is  horizontally at the bottom of the figure.

The big one is minute hand and small one is hour hand.If, The hand present in side than it shift towards bottom, if the hand present on bottom than it shift towards top side, means both sides are interchanged.But, the left and right side remains same.

Illustration 4 : In the following question, choose the correct water-image of the figure. from amongst the four alternatives (a), (b), (c),  and (d) given. Identify the correct water image

(a)                          (b)                    (c)                  (d) 

Answer : (a)

Solution :

In the above question the water image of      is   as follows :

The reflection of an object into the water is its water image. It appears by inverting an object vertically i.e. upside down. The water image of the figure looks like the mirror image of the figure in case  the mirror is  horizontally at the bottom of the figure.

The big one is minute hand and small one is hour hand.If, The hand present in side than it shift towards bottom, if the hand present on bottom than it shift towards top side, means both sides are interchanged.But, the left and right side remains same.

Illustration 5 : In the following question, choose the correct water-image of the figure. from amongst the four alternatives (a), (b), (c),  and (d) given. Identify the correct water image

What is the water image of the clock when it shows 3:30 time ?

(a)  9:30          (b) 12:30        (c)  3:00       (d)  4:00

Answer : (c)

Solution : In the above question the water image of   3.30 is   .

The reflection of an object into the water is its water image. It appears by inverting an object vertically i.e. upside down. The water image of the figure looks like the mirror image of the figure in case  the mirror is  horizontally at the bottom of the figure.
