Select a figure from amongst the answer figures which will continue the same series as established by the problem figures given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) →
-
The series shows a progressive reduction in the number of sides of the figure:
hexagon → pentagon → quadrilateral → triangle. -
At the same time, the orientation of the figure alternates/rotates consistently as sides are reduced.
-
After the last shown quadrilateral, the next figure must be a triangle with the matching orientation in the sequence.
Only Option 3 fits both the side-reduction pattern and the orientation rule.
