Question

Choose the most appropriate figure from the options, which would complete the pattern.

• A. Option 1
• B. Option 2
• C. Option 3
• D. Option 4

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:

• In this kind of 3x3 grid, one small feature of the figure (here, a triangular corner cut on each square) shifts position from cell to cell in a fixed, repeating order.
• Reading the grid cell by cell reveals this rotation rule, which can then be extended to the missing cell.

Step 1: Observe how the cut corner moves along the filled cells of the grid.
Moving through the given cells, the triangular cut steadily shifts from one corner of the square to the next in the same rotational direction.

Step 2: Confirm the direction and step-size of this rotation.
Checking this movement across more than one row confirms it is a consistent, single-step rotation each time, not a random placement.

Step 3: Apply the rotation to predict the missing (ninth) cell.
Continuing the same one-step rotation from the last filled cell gives the corner where the cut should appear in the missing figure.

Step 4: Match the prediction with the options.
Only one option places the triangular cut at that predicted corner; the remaining options place it at a corner that breaks the established rotation.

Final Answer: Option 2
