Embedded Figures

Question:

Select the figures which, when fitted with each other, will form a complete square.

Options:

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A), (B) and (C) only

(A), (B), (C) & (D)

(B), (C), & (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A), (B) and (C) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B) and (C) only

  • To form a complete square, the selected pieces together must provide:

    • Four right angles, and

    • Straight outer edges that can align to make the square’s boundary.

  • Figure (A) and Figure (C) together compensate for each other’s slanted edges.

  • Figure (B) provides the required right angles and straight sides.

  • Figure (D) has an irregular projection that prevents the formation of a perfect square boundary.

Hence, the figures that can be fitted together to form a complete square are (A), (B), and (C).
