What will be the next figure of the series?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) →

Each figure changes one part in turn: the top, then the middle, then the base, a rectangle becoming an oval (or back again) and straight middle lines becoming curved (or back again). Figure 5 changed the top, so the next figure changes the middle back to straight lines, keeping the rectangle on top and the oval at the base.
