Which of the figures would complete the pattern?
Problem figure (x)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) →
The pattern is symmetric about both centre lines: each quarter is the mirror image of the quarter beside it. The missing quarter is therefore the bottom-left quarter reflected in the vertical line, which is also the top-right quarter reflected in the horizontal line. Option (3) is that image, with two parallel lines like the rest of the pattern.
