Question

From the given answer figures, select the one in which the question figure is hidden/embedded.

 

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Hint:

For embedded-figure problems, first look for natural partitions (existing bold lines) to split the complex figure into simple components; then match each component's outline and orientation with the answer choices.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Decompose the question figure.
Partition the square into three vertical strips by using the two bold verticals already present in the figure. Each strip contains a distinct simple component:  

• Left strip: An inverted V/arrow formed by the two diagonals meeting near the top-left. 
• Middle strip: A pentagon-like outline (roof shape) above a short horizontal base segment around the centre.
• Right strip: A slanted quadrilateral (trapezoid-like) cut by one diagonal near the right edge. 

Step 2: Match with the options.
Only Option (c) shows these three components arranged in three vertical panels: the V in the left panel, the pentagon-with-base in the middle panel, and the slanted quadrilateral in the right panel—exactly the three shapes extracted from the corresponding strips of the question figure (orientation and proportions preserved).
Options (a), (b), and (d) either alter the internal lines (extra base line in (b), triangular subdivision in (d)) or mismatch the panel shapes (a). \[ \Rightarrow~\boxed{(c)} \]
