The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 — Observe the sequence of figures:
• 1st figure: It is a grid with 4 vertical lines and 4 horizontal lines crossing each other (dense net).
• 2nd figure: The number of lines decreases. Now there are 3 vertical and 3 horizontal lines (smaller net).
• 3rd figure: The reduction continues. Now there are 2 vertical and 2 horizontal lines forming a simple plus sign with double bars.

Step 2 — Identify the pattern:
In each step, both the vertical and horizontal lines decrease by one.
- Step 1 → 4 lines each.
- Step 2 → 3 lines each.
- Step 3 → 2 lines each.
- Step 4 (the missing one) → 1 vertical and 1 horizontal line should remain.

Step 3 — Compare with given options:
The figure that has only a single vertical line (and in this test, that is Option C) represents the final stage of the reduction pattern.

Step 4 — Explanation of why it must be only one line:
Once both vertical and horizontal lines reduce equally, the last stage after “2 × 2” is “1 × 1”. That would leave only a single vertical or horizontal line. The correct option given is the single vertical line, which fits the logical reduction sequence shown.

Final Answer: The missing figure is a single vertical line (Option C).

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 — Observe the first three figures:
• 1st figure: Three lines meeting at a point below, each line ending with a black dot at the top.
• 2nd figure: Four lines now, spreading upward, each with a dot — the number of lines and dots has increased.
• 3rd figure: The structure has simplified, becoming two lines forming a “<” shape, each ending with a dot.

Step 2 — Identify the pattern:
The sequence is showing a progressive reduction and transformation:
- Start with three branches (with dots).
- Then expand to four branches (with dots).
- Then reduce to two branches with dots, shown as “<”.
So the next logical step is a mirrored or rotated form, keeping two branches but with the dots repositioned.

Step 3 — Look for symmetry:
The 3rd figure is “<” with dots at the ends. To continue the pattern, the next figure should be the mirror image, i.e., “>”, still with two dots at the ends of the branches.

Step 4 — Match with the given answer options:
Option (C) shows exactly this: a “>” shape with two dots placed at the ends.

Step 5 — Conclusion:
The sequence transforms from multiple branches into fewer branches and then mirrors the direction. Hence, the correct missing figure is “>” with two dots, which corresponds to Option (C).

Final Answer: Option (C): “>” with two dots.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1 — Write the series clearly:
We are given: GMSY, IOUA, KQWC, ?
We need to find the missing 4-letter term.

Step 2 — Break down each term into its letters:
1st term = G M S Y
2nd term = I O U A
3rd term = K Q W C
4th term = ? ? ? ?

Step 3 — Look at the 1st letters across the terms:
G → I → K → ?
Positions in alphabet: G(7), I(9), K(11).
Pattern: increasing by +2 each step.
So the next letter = M (13th letter).
Thus, 1st letter = M.

Step 4 — Look at the 2nd letters across the terms:
M → O → Q → ?
Positions: M(13), O(15), Q(17).
Again, +2 pattern.
Next letter = S (19th letter).
Thus, 2nd letter = S.

Step 5 — Look at the 3rd letters across the terms:
S → U → W → ?
Positions: S(19), U(21), W(23).
Again, +2 pattern.
Next letter = Y (25th letter).
Thus, 3rd letter = Y.

Step 6 — Look at the 4th letters across the terms:
Y → A → C → ?
Now note: After Z, alphabet wraps to A.
Positions: Y(25), A(1), C(3).
Pattern: +2 each time (Y(25) + 2 = 27 → wrap to 1 = A, then +2 = C).
Next = E (5th letter).
Thus, 4th letter = E.

Step 7 — Combine all letters:
The 4th term is M S Y E.

Final Answer: MSYE (Option A).
