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 4 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 mirror image of (X) (left and right swapped), not (X) as it is given.
Option (3) — Incorrect. It contains (X) flipped top to bottom (its water image), not (X) as it is given.
Option (4) — Incorrect. It contains a shape like (X) in which one line points in a different direction, so (X) cannot be traced.
