Select a figure from the given four alternatives which when placed in the blank space of the given figure would complete the pattern.
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 (C) satisfies this condition.
Find out which of the figures out of given option can be formed from the pieces given in fig (X)
