Question

Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the following series is to be continued? [Refer to the figure.]

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