Find out which of the answer figures (1), (2), (3) and (4) completes the figure matrix.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) →

In each row the third figure is built from the first two: the second shape on the outside, the first shape inside it, and a small copy of the second shape in the centre (circle, square, small circle in row 1; square, triangle, small square in row 2). Row 3 has a square and then a triangle, so the missing figure is a triangle, a square inside it and a small triangle in the centre.
