Images of consonants of the English alphabet (Capitals) are observed in a mirror. What is the number of images of these which do not look like their original shapes?
13
14
15
16
Solution
There are 21 consonants in the English alphabet. The consonants whose mirror images look like the original (symmetric about a vertical axis) are H, M, T, V, W, X and Y - that is 7 consonants. So the number whose images do not look like the original is $21 - 7 = 14$.
