Identify the figure given in the options which when put in place of the question mark (?) will logically complete the series?
Correct Answer :
Solution :
To determine the correct figure that completes the series, we analyze the changes between consecutive frames:
1. Movement of the Center Arrow:
- In the first frame, the arrow points Up (0°).
- In the second frame, the arrow points Up-Right (rotated 45° clockwise).
- In the third frame, the arrow points Right (rotated another 45° clockwise, total 90°).
- In the fourth frame, the arrow points Down-Right (rotated another 45° clockwise, total 135°).
- Following this logic, in the fifth (missing) frame, the arrow must rotate another 45° clockwise to point directly Down (180°).
2. Movement of the Corner Shapes:
In each step, all the shapes in the corners shift one position clockwise:
- Triangle: starts at Top-Left (Frame 1) → Top-Right (Frame 2) → Bottom-Right (Frame 3) → Bottom-Left (Frame 4) → Top-Left (Frame 5).
- Star (*): starts at Top-Right (Frame 1) → Bottom-Right (Frame 2) → Bottom-Left (Frame 3) → Top-Left (Frame 4) → Top-Right (Frame 5).
- Circle: starts at Bottom-Right (Frame 1) → Bottom-Left (Frame 2) → Top-Left (Frame 3) → Top-Right (Frame 4) → Bottom-Right (Frame 5).
- Square: starts at Bottom-Left (Frame 1) → Top-Left (Frame 2) → Top-Right (Frame 3) → Bottom-Right (Frame 4) → Bottom-Left (Frame 5).
Combining these rules, the correct figure must have:
- Arrow pointing Down in the center.
- Triangle at Top-Left.
- Star (*) at Top-Right.
- Square at Bottom-Left.
- Circle at Bottom-Right.
This matches the first option (Option 1).
