Select the figure from the options which will continue the series established by the problem figure:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) →
Each figure is the one before it turned through 90° clockwise with one more line added, so the figures have 4, 5, 6 and 7 lines and the next must have 8 lines. Turning the fourth figure 90° clockwise and adding a line gives the zigzag of Option (3), which starts with a line along the top and ends with a line going down at the left.
