Figure Series

Question:

Which one of the following answer figures completes the figure matrix given below.

Options:

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 

Let’s analyze the figure matrix pattern carefully.

Observation

  • The top row (1 → 2) shows a circular figure divided into equal sectors.
  • From Figure 1 to Figure 2, the shaded sectors rotate clockwise by one sector.
  • In the bottom row, the shape changes from circle to square, but the same rotation rule applies.

Applying the pattern

  • Figure 4 (bottom-right) is a square divided into 8 triangular sectors, with two adjacent shaded sectors.
  • To get Figure 3 (bottom-left), we must take Figure 4 and rotate the shaded portion anticlockwise by one sector, just as seen in the top row relationship.

Final Answer

The correct answer is the square divided into 8 triangular parts with the shaded region shifted one sector anticlockwise from Figure 4
