Figure Series

Question:

There is a definite relationship between figures A and B. Select a suitable figure from the answer figures that establish a similar relationship between figures C and D.

Options:

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 

Analysis of the Relationship (A to B)

  • Shape Swap: In figure A, we have a rectangle and a triple circle. In figure B, these roles are reversed: the circle becomes a single outer shape, and the rectangle becomes a triple inner shape.
  • Positioning: The single shape that was on the left (rectangle) moves to the right and becomes the nested/triple shape. The triple shape on the right (circles) moves to the left and becomes a single large shape.
  • Interlocking: The two elements remain partially overlapped or interlocked.

Applying the Logic to C and D

  • Figure C contains: A single triangle on the left and a triple L-shape (right angle lines) on the bottom right.
  • Transformation for Figure D:
    1. The L-shape should move to the left and become a single large L-shape.
    2. The triangle should move to the right and become a triple nested triangle.
    3. The two shapes should remain interlocked.

Conclusion

The suitable figure for D would feature a large single L-shape on the left overlapping with three nested triangles on the right.
