The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
Step 1: Analyze the sequence of changes in the pattern, where the objects and their colors are arranged in a specific order.
Step 2: The pattern alternates the positions of the hearts and the circles. Option B follows this pattern and completes the sequence.

Approach Solution -2
Counting the symbols in each of the four given panels shows the same fixed set every time: four green circles, three red spades, and five hearts, of which four are blue and only one is red. The panels only rearrange these twelve symbols, they never add, remove, or recolour one. So the missing panel must contain exactly this same set, four green circles, three red spades, four blue hearts and one red heart, just in a new arrangement.
- Option A: This option keeps the correct count of every symbol, four circles, three spades, five hearts with one red, but it scatters the three hearts across three different rows, undoing the clustering of hearts into a single row that the panels have been building up since the second given panel.
- Option B: This option also keeps the correct count of every symbol, and it gathers all three hearts, including the one red heart, into a single row together, continuing the clustering trend already visible in the given panels.
- Option C: Counting this option turns up six hearts, two of them red, and only two spades, one spade has effectively turned into an extra red heart, which breaks the fixed set of twelve symbols used throughout the sequence.
- Option D: Counting this option gives only two spades and five circles, one spade has been swapped for an extra circle, again breaking the fixed count of three spades and four circles that every given panel obeys.
Options C and D fail the basic symbol count, and between the two that pass, option B is the one that continues the trend of grouping the hearts into a single row.
So the correct answer is Option B.

- A bank needs to upgrade its ATM kiosks to be wheel-chair accessible. An ATM kiosk entrance has four steps rising up to reach the floor level of the kiosk. Each step is 1000 mm in length, 300 mm in breadth, and 150 mm in height. The bank proposes to create a wheel-chair accessible ramp with a slope of 1:12, adjacent to the steps. What is the minimum horizontal length of the ramp in metre? \
