Friends, Classification / Odd Man out Series is one of the important topic in Reasoning Section.

You can read that post Here. In this post we shall discuss about the Water Image / Horizontal Plane. Simply we can say that the Water Image is nothing but the Reflection in Water. Technically the definition is "In water image / horizontal plane, the LOWER and UPPER parts interchange positions and the LEFT and RIGHT parts remain constant". Have a look at this Cat to make concept clear... Lol ;)
