Solved Example on Asymmetry
Ques: Which of the figures are examples of asymmetry?
Choices:
A. Figure 1 and Figure 3
B. Figure 1 and Figure 2
C. Figure 2 and Figure 3
D. none of the above
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Step 1: When a figure is divided into two unequal halves, it is a case of asymmetry.
Step 2: Figure 1 and Figure 3 cannot be divided into two congruent halves.
Step 3: So, Figure 1 and Figure 3 are examples of asymmetry.
