Problem Figure
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) →
The figures go in pairs: a dotted line marks a cut, and in the next figure the part on the left of the cut is gone (the pointed end of the first figure, then the upper-left half of the square). In the fifth figure the dotted line runs from the middle of the slanting side to the right-angled corner, so the left part drops and the right-hand triangle is left, with its upright side on the right and its point at the middle of the old slanting side.
