Identify the figure given in the options which when put in place of (?) will logically complete the series.

Correct Answer:

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let us analyze the positions of the five elements (A, 8, Y, R, and P) within the grid in each step of the series. We can define five distinct positions inside the square:
1. TL: Top-Left corner
2. TR: Top-Right corner
3. C: Center
4. BR: Bottom-Right corner
5. BL: Bottom-Left corner

By observing the movement of each element from one figure to the next, we can establish a cyclic pattern of movement:
$\backslash text\{TL\}\; \backslash Rightarrow\; \backslash text\{TR\}\; \backslash Rightarrow\; \backslash text\{C\}\; \backslash Rightarrow\; \backslash text\{BR\}\; \backslash Rightarrow\; \backslash text\{BL\}\; \backslash Rightarrow\; \backslash text\{TL\}$

Let us verify this cyclic path for each element step-by-step:

• Element 'A': Starts at TL (Figure 1) → moves to TR (Figure 2) → moves to C (Figure 3) → moves to BR (Figure 4) → must move to BL in Figure 5.
• Element '8': Starts at TR (Figure 1) → moves to C (Figure 2) → moves to BR (Figure 3) → moves to BL (Figure 4) → must move to TL in Figure 5.
• Element 'Y': Starts at C (Figure 1) → moves to BR (Figure 2) → moves to BL (Figure 3) → moves to TL (Figure 4) → must move to TR in Figure 5.
• Element 'R': Starts at BL (Figure 1) → moves to TL (Figure 2) → moves to TR (Figure 3) → moves to C (Figure 4) → must move to BR in Figure 5.
• Element 'P': Starts at BR (Figure 1) → moves to BL (Figure 2) → moves to TL (Figure 3) → moves to TR (Figure 4) → must move to C in Figure 5.

Therefore, the final position of each element in the 5th figure of the series will be:

• Top-Left (TL): 8
• Top-Right (TR): Y
• Center (C): P
• Bottom-Left (BL): A
• Bottom-Right (BR): R

This matches the figure shown in the correct option:
