Question

Tile X was used to create a pattern which is seamless (without gaps) when arranged as shown in Y. Which tile(s) from the options will create a seamless pattern?

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B, C

The problem requires determining which tiles from the given options can create a seamless pattern similar to tile X. A seamless pattern means that when the tiles are repeated, they fit together perfectly without any visible gaps. To solve this, follow these steps:

• Observe the pattern created by tile X. Note any distinctive features on the edges that allow for seamless repetition.
• Compare each option tile to tile X. Look for identical edge patterns that allow the tiles to align perfectly with one another.
• Ensure that the pattern on the edges of the tile match the adjacent tiles when repeated. This means any protrusions, shapes, or colors align to create a continuous pattern.

The correct options are the tiles whose edge patterns match the requirements of tile X, allowing for seamless tiling:
