Question:

Which one of the answer figure will complete the sequence of the three problem figures ?

Show Hint

Compare the positions of the dividing lines in the three figures; the pattern of radii turns by the same angle at every step.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Each problem figure is a circle divided into six sectors by six radii. The second figure is the first one turned clockwise by about 30 degrees, and the third figure is the second one turned clockwise by another 30 degrees (the sector sizes in order stay the same).
So the fourth figure must be the third turned clockwise by a further 30 degrees. This gives six radii: one pointing almost due east, one pointing north, two close together in the upper-left (north-west and west-north-west), one pointing down towards the south-south-west and one pointing to the south-east.
Option (3) has only five radii (the north-west one is missing), option (2) has seven and option (4) has seven (an extra radius in the north-east). Option (1) has six radii in exactly these positions, so it completes the sequence. (Its two heavier radii are only a difference in line weight, as in the first problem figure.)
Answer: (1) option (1)
