Question

Choose the figure that follows from the following pattern? 

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

• E.

  

Hint:

In pattern problems:
• Track number of sides carefully.
• Observe shading (inner vs outer).
• Look for alternating increase/decrease patterns.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: The pattern is based on:
• Polygon shape transformation
• Alternating shaded and unshaded regions
• Increase and decrease in number of sides
Step 1: Observe given figures.
• First figure: Triangle inside a square (outer shaded).
• Second figure: Octagon with inner unshaded region.
• Third figure: Pentagon with inner unshaded region.

Step 2: Identify pattern.
• Number of sides changes in sequence: \[ 4 \rightarrow 8 \rightarrow 5 \rightarrow ? \]
• Pattern alternates between increasing and decreasing sides.

Step 3: Shading pattern.
• Outer region is shaded.
• Inner region remains unshaded.
• Orientation slightly rotates.

Step 4: Find next figure.
• Next should follow transformation and orientation shift.
• Only option 316202 matches:
• Correct shading
• Proper structural transformation
• Consistent pattern continuation
