Which option completes the 3 × 3 figure matrix given below?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) →
In each row, the hooked line turns 90° clockwise from one figure to the next. In row 3 the second figure shows the hooked line with the hook at its lower-right end, so the first figure, one turn earlier, shows the hooked line with the hook at its upper-right end.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) — Incorrect. It points the right way but is reversed: the hook is on the other side, so it is a mirror image.
Option (2) — Incorrect. It is turned the wrong way: the row turns 90° clockwise each time.
Option (3) — Incorrect. It is the same as the next figure in the row; it should be turned back 90°.
