Question

Select a figure from the options which will continue the same series as established by the five problem figures.

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

Hint:

Deconstruct complex visual series problems into smaller, simpler patterns. Analyze each element (e.g., shape, color, position, size) separately before combining the rules to find the solution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyze the pattern of the inner shapes. There are two inner shapes, one inside the other. - The larger of the two inner shapes follows the sequence: Triangle \textrightarrow Circle \textrightarrow Square \textrightarrow Triangle \textrightarrow Circle. The next shape in this sequence should be a Square. - The smaller shape inside that one follows the sequence: Circle \textrightarrow Square \textrightarrow Triangle \textrightarrow Circle \textrightarrow Square. The next shape in this sequence should be a Triangle.
Step 2: Analyze the pattern of the outermost figure. The outermost figure is a shape that encloses everything. - Figure 1: Triangle - Figure 2: Triangle with an outer triangle layer. - Figure 3: Square. - Figure 4: Square with an outer square layer. - Figure 5: Pentagon. The pattern is: a shape appears, then in the next step, a second layer of the same shape is added around it, then a new shape (with one more side) appears. Following this pattern, since Figure 5 is a Pentagon, the next figure should be a Pentagon with an outer pentagon layer.
Step 3: Combine the patterns to construct the next figure in the series. The next figure must have: - An outer frame of a pentagon inside another pentagon. - A Square as the larger inner shape. - A Triangle as the smallest inner shape. This description matches Figure 1 among the options.
