Look at figure (X). Which option figure contains figure (X) exactly, without turning it?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) →
Figure (X) is made of 5 straight lines. Look for the same shape, in the same size and the same way round, among the lines of each option. It can be traced in Option (2) (green lines below); the other options hold only a changed copy of it.
Option (1) — Incorrect. It contains a shape like (X) with one of its lines missing, so (X) cannot be traced completely.
Option (3) — Incorrect. It contains the shape of (X) turned through 180° (half a turn), not (X) as it is given.
Option (4) — Incorrect. It contains the shape of (X) turned through 90° clockwise (a quarter turn), not (X) as it is given.
