Question

Choose the correct option amongst the answer figures which complete the series.

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

Track three things separately: the shaded quarter, the dot outside the circle and the two dots inside the circle.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Shaded quarter of the circle: bottom left, then top left, then top right, so it moves 90 degrees clockwise each time. The next position is the bottom right.
Dot outside the circle (in a corner of the square): top right, then bottom right, then bottom left, so it also moves 90 degrees clockwise. The next position is the top left corner.
Dots inside the circle: they lie in the two quarters that are neither shaded nor holding the outer dot, so they occupy top left and bottom right in figures 1 and 3, and top right and bottom left in figure 2. In figure 4 the shaded quarter is bottom right and the outer dot is at the top left, so the inner dots are in the top right and bottom left quarters.
Option 4 has the shaded bottom right quarter, an outer dot at the top left and inner dots in the top right and bottom left. Option 1 has three outer dots, option 2 has the outer dot in the shaded corner, option 3 has no inner dots.
Answer: (4) Option 4
