Which figure from the options will replace the question mark (?) in the fourth figure?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) →
The figures go in pairs. Figure 3 is Figure 1 turned upside down: the L of five tiles flips from the bottom to the top, and every tile flips with it, so a tile black at the top becomes black at the bottom, while left and right halves stay as they are. In the same way the missing figure is Figure 2 turned upside down: the L now runs along the top row and down the left column, and only Option (1) has every tile shaded to match.
