Question

Choose the figure that will correctly replace the question mark \((?)\) in the given series.

• A. Figure 1
• B. Figure 2
• C. Figure 3
• D. Figure 4

Hint:

In figure-series problems, always check for uniform rotation first—most symbol-based series follow rotational symmetry.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: This is a figure-series completion problem based on:
Rotation of the entire figure,
Cyclic movement of symbols (filled circle, hollow square, diamond, arrow),
Consistent clockwise shifting of elements.
Step 1: Observe the pattern of rotation Each successive figure is obtained by rotating the previous figure by \(90^\circ\) clockwise.
Step 2: Track the symbols Across the series:
The arrow rotates \(90^\circ\) clockwise each step.
The filled circle, hollow square, and diamond also shift positions accordingly while maintaining their relative order.
Step 3: Predict the next figure Applying another \(90^\circ\) clockwise rotation to the last given figure:
The arrow points upward,
The filled circle appears at the bottom,
The diamond shifts to the left,
The hollow square moves to the right.
Step 4: Match with options Only Option (C) satisfies all these conditions simultaneously.
Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{Figure 3}}\)
