Question

Which one of the answer figure will complete the sequence of the problem figure ? Choose the correct one.

• A.

  

• B.

  

• C.

  

• D.

  

Hint:

The figures alternate between two designs and two outer shapes; look at which ring is shaded in each part.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Figures (a) and (c) show the same design (diagonal lines with black corner wedges), first inside a square and then inside a circle. So figure (d) should be the circular version of figure (b).
In (b), the concentric square rings are shaded one ring at a time, turning clockwise: the outermost ring is shaded at the top, the second ring on the right, the third ring at the bottom, and the centre has its top triangle shaded. Diagonals and a cross divide the rings into four parts.
The circular version must therefore be concentric circles divided by a cross, with the outermost ring shaded at the top, the second ring shaded on the right, the third ring shaded at the bottom and the central circle shaded at the top.
Only option (3) matches these shaded parts; options (1), (2) and (4) shade other rings or other positions.
Answer: (3) the circular figure with the outer ring shaded at top, second ring at right, third ring at bottom and the centre shaded at top
