Question

Which of the options would replace the missing $2\times2$ block? 

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

When a grid is built from repeating $2\times2$ tiles, read the one just above/left of the hole and continue the same local pattern.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Observe any $2\times2$ tile in the grid: the four letters repeat in a fixed order as you move right or down—each step cycles the set \(\{\text{क, व, ठ, द}\}\) without change of layout.
Look at the four cells immediately around the blank block. The top neighbours read \(.s\,\text{ठ}\;\text{द}\,.s\) and the left neighbours read \[ \begin{smallmatrix} \text{व} \\ \text{व} \end{smallmatrix} \] Continuing the same $2\times2$ layout that appears everywhere else forces the missing block to be \[ \begin{smallmatrix} \text{ठ} & \text{द} \\ \text{व} & \text{ठ} \end{smallmatrix} \] which matches option (A).
\[ \boxed{\text{(A)}} \]
