Question

Choose the option that would replace the question mark to correctly complete the pattern. 

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

When patterns mix position and style, check each dimension: row/column alternation of colours or shapes usually pins down the missing tile uniquely.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Look at each row and column separately.
1) In every row, the small dot alternates between the two red types (circle \(\leftrightarrow\) hex). In the bottom row the right cell already has the red hex, so the missing middle one must have the red circle.
2) Down each column, the large dot alternates in colour (maroon, grey, maroon,\(.....\)). In the middle column the top is grey and the centre is maroon, so the bottom must again be maroon.
Combining (1) and (2) gives a circle with a maroon large dot and a red circular small dot at the top—exactly option (B).
