Question

Which figure continues the series: shapes progressively gain dots and rotate 45° each step?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D
• E. E

Hint:

A full rotation is $360^\circ$. $45^\circ$ is exactly 1/8th of a circle (diagonal to straight).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Analyse options.
- Rule 1: Rotation of $45^\circ$ per step. - Rule 2: Increment of 1 dot per step. - If the 4th figure has 4 dots and is at $135^\circ$, the 5th figure must have 5 dots and be at $180^\circ$.
Step 2: Conclusion.
Figure B satisfies both rules. Final Answer: (b) B
