Write the word AMBULANCE as it would appear when reflected in a plane mirror. Why is it sometimes written in this way (as its mirror image) on the front of an ambulance?

उत्तर
The word ambulance would appear as 
when reflected in a plane mirror. It is written this way so as to help a person driving a vehicle ahead of the ambulance to read it as AMBULANCE when he/she sees the rear view mirror. This is because the rear view mirror forms a laterally inverted image.
