  • $\begingroup$ Can you plz explain further.. What I understand is that if the two rings stay in one plane then sure one can imagine a mirror plane. But aren't the two rings in different planes? How does a plane of symmetry come in the picture then? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ As @Zenix states, planar or not, it's symmetrical. Make a paper cutout, or tinker-toy model, and flip it over. $\endgroup$
