Question

Directions to Solve: Each of the following questions consists of two sets of figures. Figures A, B, C and D constitute the Problem Set while f igures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 constitute the Answer Set. There is a definite relationship between figures A and B. Establish a similar relationship between f igures C and D by selecting a suitable figure from the Answer Set that would replace the question mark (?) in fig. (D).

• A. (1)
• B. (2)
• C. (3)
• D. (4)

Hint:

In figure analogies, look for two simultaneous changes (e.g., number + orientation/rotation). Apply both changes consistently from A$$B to infer C$$D.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Decode A $$ B.
Figure A contains two} identical leaf–shaped motifs facing left}. Figure B shows the same motif count reduced to one} and the motif is mirrored} to face right}. Thus, the rule is: (i) change orientation by mirroring left$\leftrightarrow$right; (ii) toggle the count two $\leftrightarrow$ one.
Step 2: Apply the same rule to C.
Figure C has one} left–facing motif. By the rule, the missing D must have two} motifs, each right–facing} (mirrored orientation) to match the A$$B transformation.
Step 3: Match with the answer figures.
Among 1–4, only Figure (b) shows two} motifs oriented to the right}, satisfying both the count and orientation conditions. \[ \boxed{\text{(b)}} \]
