Question:

Select a suitable figure from the four alternatives that would complete the following figure matrix?

Options:

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 

Let’s analyze the 3 × 3 figure matrix carefully.

Key pattern (row-wise):

In each row,

Middle figure = Left figure + Right figure (superimposed)

Check Row 1:

  • Left: Triangle
  • Right: Vertical line with a dot
  • Middle: Triangle + vertical line (with dot)

Check Row 2:

  • Left: Square with one diagonal
  • Right: Plus sign (+)
  • Middle: Square containing diagonal + plus

Apply the same logic to Row 3:

  • Left: Curved-bottom square
  • Middle: Curved-bottom square with X inside
  • Right: must be only the X (two diagonals crossing)

Because:

Curved square + X = curved square with X (middle cell)

Correct answer: The figure containing only an ‘X’ (two diagonals crossing), without any outer boundary.
