Question

Which option is a simple rotation of the image given below? 

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

For rotation-based questions, try to mentally rotate the image or physically use a tool to visualize the correct orientation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Analyze the image and observe the pattern.
Step 2: Consider each option as a rotation of the original image. Option B is a simple rotation that matches the original pattern.
Step 3: Therefore, the correct answer is (B).

Answer 2

The picture is a grid of coloured tiles with a small black-and-white step in the middle. To tell a true rotation from a flipped (mirrored) copy, pick that black-and-white step as a landmark and read the colours running clockwise around it. A turn of the whole grid keeps this clockwise order exactly the same, only starting from a different edge; a mirrored copy reverses the order, because a flip cannot be produced by turning the picture in its own plane.

1. Option A: Reading clockwise from the black-and-white step in this version, the neighbouring tiles come out in the reverse order compared with the original grid. That reversal is the signature of a flip, not a turn, so option A cannot be reached by simply rotating the given tile pattern.
2. Option B: The same black-and-white step sits in the grid with its neighbouring tiles running in exactly the same clockwise order as the original, just rotated so the pattern now starts from a different corner. Since the clockwise sequence of colours is preserved, this version is a genuine turn of the original grid.
3. Option C: The tiles around the black-and-white step read in the opposite (anticlockwise) order compared with the original when traced the same way, which again is what happens when the grid is flipped over rather than turned.
4. Option D: Here the black-and-white step has also swapped sides relative to its neighbours, so the local colour order runs backwards compared with the original. This too is a mirrored version, not a rotation.

Only option B keeps the clockwise colour order around the black-and-white landmark unchanged, which is exactly what a simple turn of the grid should do.

So the correct answer is Option B.
