A

B

C

D

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Solution :

The correct option is the second figure (Option 2), which displays the square symbol in the top sector and the triangle symbol in the bottom-left sector.

To understand why this is correct, we can analyze the movement of each shape step-by-step across the sequence of circles divided into 6 equal sectors (stages I to VI):

1. Movement of the Square (□):
- In figure (I), the square is in the top sector.
- In figure (II), it moves to the top-right sector.
- In figure (III), it moves to the bottom-right sector.
- In figure (IV), it moves to the bottom sector.
- In figure (V), it moves to the bottom-left sector.
- In figure (VI), it moves to the top-left sector.
- Observing this sequence, the square moves by shifting exactly:
+1
sector in the clockwise direction at each consecutive stage. Following this rule, in stage (VII), the square must move from the top-left sector to the top sector.

2. Movement of the Triangle (△):
- In figure (I), the triangle is in the bottom-left sector.
- In figure (II), it moves to the bottom sector.
- In figure (III), it moves to the bottom-right sector.
- In figure (IV), it moves to the top-right sector.
- In figure (V), it moves to the top sector.
- In figure (VI), it moves to the top-left sector.
- Observing this sequence, the triangle moves by shifting exactly:
-1
sector in the counter-clockwise direction at each consecutive stage. Following this rule, in stage (VII), the triangle must move from the top-left sector to the bottom-left sector.

Conclusion:
By combining the two rules for stage (VII), the square must occupy the top sector and the triangle must occupy the bottom-left sector. This configuration matches the figure represented in Option 2.
