Select a figure from the options which will continue the same series as established by the problem figures.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) →
The black triangle moves clockwise round the square: after the top-left quarter it takes two steps in each quarter, first as a triangle cut across the quarter and then as the triangle lying along the horizontal middle line (as in the 1st, 3rd and 5th figures). The 6th figure is the first step in the bottom-left quarter, so the next figure shades the bottom-left triangle along the horizontal middle line.
