Figure (X) is embedded in one of the four option figures. Select the option that contains figure (X) as its part. (Rotation is not allowed.)
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) →
Figure (X) is made of 3 straight lines. Look for the same shape, in the same size and the same way round, among the lines of each option. It can be traced in Option (2) (green lines below); the other options hold only a changed copy of it.
Option (1) — Incorrect. It contains the shape of (X) turned through 180° (half a turn), not (X) as it is given.
Option (3) — Incorrect. It contains a shape like (X) with one of its lines missing, so (X) cannot be traced completely.
Option (4) — Incorrect. It contains the mirror image of (X) (left and right swapped), not (X) as it is given.
