Question
Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the following series is to be continued? [Refer to the figure.]
- A. Option 1
- B. Option 2 (Correct answer)
- C. Option 3
- D. Option 4
Correct Answer
Option B — Option 2
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2.
Key Points
- Track how the letters/elements shift position from one figure to the next in the series.
- Continuing that movement one more step produces the arrangement shown in option 2.
Additional Information
- Figure series are read one element at a time: track a single shape's position, then its rotation, then any change in shading or count, before comparing options.
- Movement in these series is usually a constant step — one cell clockwise, or 45° per frame — so establishing the step between the first two figures predicts the rest.
- If two options show the right shape, the deciding detail is almost always orientation or which corner an element occupies.
