Question

Select a figure from the given four alternatives which when placed in the blank space of the given figure would complete the pattern. \[ \includegraphics[width=0.3\linewidth]{q55_question.png} \]

• A. \includegraphics[width=0.1\linewidth]{q55_opt1.png}
• B. \includegraphics[width=0.1\linewidth]{q55_opt2.png}
• C. \includegraphics[width=0.1\linewidth]{q55_opt3.png}
• D. \includegraphics[width=0.1\linewidth]{q55_opt4.png}

Hint:

In figure series, watch for a consistent transformation in shapes or positions—like outer to inner rotation or shape shifts. Patterns often repeat cyclically.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let's analyze the pattern row-wise: - First figure: Outer shape – Triangle, Inner shape – Circle - Second figure: Outer shape – Square, Inner shape – Triangle - Third figure (missing): Outer shape – Circle, Inner shape – Square Hence, we observe a cyclic shift in shapes across positions. The inner shape of one figure becomes the outer shape in the next: - Triangle → Square → Circle → Triangle (cycle continues) Now we apply this logic: - In 1st figure: Triangle (outer), Circle (inner) - In 2nd figure: Square (outer), Triangle (inner) - So, 3rd figure must be: Circle (outer), Square (inner) Only option (3) satisfies this condition.
