Pick the figure from the options that best continues the given figure series.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) →
From each figure to the next, the shaded sectors move two places anticlockwise each time. So the next figure has the two sectors between the top and right radii shaded.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) — Incorrect. The shaded sectors have moved two places clockwise instead of anticlockwise.
Option (3) — Incorrect. The shaded sectors have moved four places clockwise, not two places anticlockwise.
Option (4) — Incorrect. The shaded sectors have not moved at all since the last figure.
