The correct answer is Option (1) →

The Logic of the Pattern
In each row, the figure in the third column is a combination of the figures from the first and second columns:
- Outer Shape: This is the same as the shape in the first column.
- Middle Shape: This is the same as the shape in the second column.
- Inner Shape: This is again the same as the shape in the first column.
Applying the Logic to Each Row
- Row 1: * Column 1: Triangle | Column 2: Circle
- Column 3: Triangle (Outer) + Circle (Middle) + Triangle (Inner).
- Row 2: * Column 1: Square | Column 2: Triangle
- Column 3: Square (Outer) + Triangle (Middle) + Square (Inner).
- Row 3: * Column 1: Pentagon
- Column 2: Diamond (or tilted square)
- The Missing Figure (?): Following the pattern, this should be a Pentagon as the outer shape, containing a Diamond in the middle, and another small Pentagon at the center.
Final Answer: The figure that completes the matrix is a Pentagon containing a Diamond containing a Pentagon. |
