Which of the option figures will take the place of the question mark and continue the series?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) →
From each figure to the next, the pin turns 90° clockwise each time. So the next figure has the pin with the circle at its right end.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (1) — Incorrect. The pin has turned 90° anticlockwise instead of clockwise.
Option (2) — Incorrect. The pin has not turned at all since the last figure.
Option (4) — Incorrect. The pin has turned 135° instead of 90°.
