A

B

C

D

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Solution :

The correct answer is:


Step-by-Step Explanation:

To find the missing figure in the series, let's analyze the movement of each symbol across the four given frames in order:


1. Movement of the central symbol 'O':

In all four frames (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th), the letter 'O' consistently remains fixed in the center position of the square. Therefore, the 5th frame must also have 'O' in the center.


2. Movement of the symbols around the corners/positions:

Let's track the position of the '$' symbol:

Frame 1: Top-Left corner

Frame 2: Bottom-Left corner

Frame 3: Top-Left corner

Frame 4: Top-Right corner

Let's look at the overall pattern of the symbols in Frame 1 and Frame 5:

Notice the relationship between Frame 1 and Frame 3, or alternating series:

• In Frame 1: Top-Left has '$', Top-Right has '+', Bottom-Left has '%', Center has 'O'.

• In Frame 3: Top-Left has '$', Top-Right has '%', Bottom-Left has '+', Center has 'O'.

Notice that Frame 1 and Option 1 are identical in their arrangement of symbols:

• Top-Left corner: '$'

• Top-Right corner: '+'

• Bottom-Left corner: '%'

• Center: 'O'


Thus, following the repeating/cyclical pattern of the series, the 5th figure logically matches the first option:
