Which figure from the options completes the figure matrix below?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) →
In each row, the arrow turns 90° clockwise from one figure to the next. In row 3 the figure before the gap shows the arrow pointing down and to the left, so the missing figure shows the arrow pointing up and to the left.
Why the other options are incorrect
Option (2) — Incorrect. It is the same as the figure before it in the row; it has not turned.
Option (3) — Incorrect. It is turned through 45° instead of 90°.
Option (4) — Incorrect. It has turned 90° anticlockwise instead of clockwise.
