Paper 2Algebra

A letter L is printed somewhere on the xx-yy plane. It then undergoes three transformations: it is rotated anti-clockwise about the origin by π4\dfrac\pi4 radians, then it is reflected in the xx-axis, and finally it is rotated clockwise about the origin by π4\dfrac\pi4 radians. Which of the following transformations should be used to undo the change to the L?

ARotate clockwise about the origin by π2\dfrac\pi2 radians
BRotate clockwise about the origin by π4\dfrac\pi4 radians, then reflect in the xx-axis, then rotate anti-clockwise about the origin by π4\dfrac\pi4 radians
CReflect in the line y=xy=x
DReflect in the line y=−xy=-x
EReflect in the xx-axis
