Question

Select the option figure in which the given figure (X) is embedded (rotation is NOT allowed). [Refer to the figure.]

1. A. Option 1
2. B. Option 2
3. C. Option 3 (Correct answer)
4. D. Option 4

Correct Answer

Option C — Option 3

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3.

Key Points

• The figure X must appear as an exact, un-rotated part of the correct option.
• Only option 3 contains the given figure in the same orientation; the others match only after rotation, which is not allowed.

Additional Information

• In embedded-figure questions the instruction line decides the answer: rotation is not allowed here, so an option matching only after turning is wrong however similar it looks.
• The reliable method is to pick one distinctive feature of the given figure — an angle, an unequal side, a stray line — and hunt for it in the same orientation.
• Compare junctions rather than overall shape; distractors are usually built by mirroring or rotating the target, both of which preserve the silhouette.
