You have to make the total no of spikes in each direction 'even (2) ' in each row. For eg: In the first row, the total no of upward spikes are 2, similarly left side and right side spikes are 2. The same follows in the remaining cases.

The explanation has a type of error. It should be COMMON instead of NOT COMMON.

In a simple way it is the addition of lines.
1st+2nd=3rd.
Note: if the two lines from the 1st and 2nd box get collapses then the line gets substracted in 3rd box (i.e. In the 2nd row).

If you consider columns.
The lines which are common in both the figures form the third one So. Option 1 has the common lines as the other two in column 3.

Not necessarily the correct answer because they should also have a pattern going down the column with a pattern going across the pattern.

In this, 1st column of figure paste in to second column of the figure then we will get third column figures.
