Question

Select the related figure from the given alternatives.

• A. Figure 1 (Pentagon in Pentagon)
• B. Figure 2 (Triangle in Triangle)
• C. Figure 3 (Hexagon in Hexagon)
• D. Figure 4 (Triangle in Circle)

Hint:

In visual analogy problems, first identify the transformation in the first pair (e.g., rotation, change in shape, change in size, addition/removal of elements) and then apply the exact same transformation to the third figure to find the fourth.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyze the relationship in the first pair of the analogy shown in the image. The image shows: (A pair of overlapping triangles) is to (A pair of overlapping circles). The relationship is that the geometric shape changes. The number of vertices changes from 3 (triangle) to \(\infty\) (circle).
Step 2: Apply the same relationship to the second pair. The second part of the analogy starts with (A pair of overlapping squares). A square has 4 vertices. Following the pattern of increasing the number of vertices, the next logical shape in a simple sequence would be a pentagon (5 vertices). Therefore, the missing figure should be a pair of overlapping pentagons. This corresponds to Figure 1 in the options.
