All letters of which of the following series appear same when looked at in a mirror ?

A, C, H, I, M
H, I, M, N, O
T, U, V, W, X
S, T, U, V, W

We are looking for a series of letters that appear the same when looked at in a mirror (specifically, a vertical mirror reflection, which is standard for reading). Let’s examine each letter in the options for vertical mirror symmetry:
– A: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– C: Is reversed (looks like a backward C).
– H: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– I: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– M: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– N: Is reversed.
– O: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– T: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– U: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– V: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– W: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– X: Looks the same (has a vertical axis of symmetry).
– S: Is reversed.
Now check the options:
A) A, C, H, I, M: Contains C, which is reversed.
B) H, I, M, N, O: Contains N, which is reversed.
C) T, U, V, W, X: All these letters look the same in a vertical mirror.
D) S, T, U, V, W: Contains S, which is reversed.
Therefore, the series where all letters appear the same in a mirror is T, U, V, W, X.
Identify letters that have vertical symmetry. These letters appear unchanged when reflected in a vertical mirror.
Letters with vertical symmetry include A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y (in some fonts). Letters with horizontal symmetry (appear same upside down) include B, C, D, E, H, I, K, O, X. Letters with both vertical and horizontal symmetry include H, I, O, X.
