Question

Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4
• E. 5

Hint:

For symbol series: Track increase/decrease patterns. Observe direction of change (left to right, top to bottom). Check consistency in placement.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: This is a series pattern problem based on:
• Movement of symbols (dots and crosses)
• Progressive replacement pattern
Step 1: Observe problem figures (A to E).

• Initially, all positions contain dots.
• Gradually, dots are replaced by crosses (X).

Step 2: Identify pattern.

• Crosses increase step-by-step.
• Replacement follows a systematic left-to-right progression.

Step 3: Predict next figure.

• Next figure should have more crosses than figure (E).
• Pattern of placement must continue consistently.

Step 4: Check answer figures.

• Only option (3) correctly:
• Continues increasing number of crosses
• Maintains correct positional sequence

Step 5: Conclusion.
Answer = 3
