Select a figure from the four alternatives, which, when placed in the blank space of fig. (X), would complete the pattern.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) →
Going round the figure clockwise (top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left), each part is the one before it turned through 90° clockwise. Turning the top-right part once more gives the missing part: the diagonal runs from top left to bottom right, the small square sits at the bottom and the arrow points down to the left. Turned once more, it gives the bottom-left part, which confirms the rule.
