Answer: Option
Explanation:
In each step, all the existing elements move to the adjacent side (of the square boundary) in a CW direction. The number of black circles decreases by one in first, third, fifth, .... steps and the number of arrows increases by one in second, fourth, sixth,... steps.

Answer: Option
Explanation:
In one step, a black circle is added to the figure at the CW-end of the existing circles and a line segment is added on the upper side. In the next step, a white circle is added to the figure at the ACW-end of the existing circles and a line segment is added on the lower side.

Answer: Option
Explanation:
The element having trapezium at its end, rotates 135oACW and the trapezium gets inverted in each step. The other element rotates 135oACW in one step and it rotates 45oCW and the symbol at its end gets replaced by a new element in the next step.

Answer: Option
Explanation:
The number of 'L' shaped elements in the upper part of the figure increases by one in every second step. Also, in each step, the existing 'L' shaped elements rotate 90oCW; the lower two elements interchange positions and the element that reaches the lower left corner, gets replaced by a new one.
15.

Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.

Problem Figures:                          Answer Figures:
