Which figure from the options completes the figure matrix below?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) →
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 left end, so the first figure, one turn earlier, shows the hooked line with the hook at its bottom end.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (2) — Incorrect. It points the correct way but is reversed: the hook is on the other side, so it is a mirror image.
Option (3) — Incorrect. It is the same as the next figure in the row; it should be turned back 90°.
Option (4) — Incorrect. It is turned through 45° instead of 90°.
