The given question consists of four problem figures marked (a), (b), (c) and (d) and four answer figures marked (1), (2), (3), and (4). Select a figure from among the options which will continue the series established by the four problem figures.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) →
The figure is a chain of lines that loses its last line (or the last part of the slanting line) at one end and gains a new line at the other in each step, each new line turned a right angle clockwise from the one before (to the right, down, to the left, then up). From (d), the rest of the slanting line goes, and a new line goes up from the bottom-left end, closing the lower box of Option (4).
