Directions to Solve

Each of the following questions consists of five figures marked A, B, C, D and E called the Problem Figures followed by five other figures marked 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 called the Answer Figures. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.

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:
  (A)     (B)     (C)     (D)     (E)       (1)     (2)     (3)     (4)     (5)

Answer: Option
Explanation:
The bent pin gets laterally inverted and vertically inverted alternately and moves to the adjacent side (of the square boundary) in a CW direction in each step,. The curved arrow rotates 90oACW and moves to the adjacent side CW in each step. As for the third element - in one step the outer 'L' shaped symbol gets laterally inverted and in the next step the element gets vertically inverted. Or, similar figure reappears in every fourth step. So, after fig. (E), the fig. (B) should reappear.

Answer: Option
Explanation:
The elements move in the sequences and alternately. Also, in each step, the element at the encircled position gets replaced by a new element.

5
Answer: Option
Explanation:
The two elements together move two spaces (each space is equal to half-a-side of the square boundary) and three space ACW alternately. Also, in one step, the two elements interchange positions and together rotate 90oCW and in the next step, the two elements interchange positions and together rotate through 180o.
25.

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:
  (A)     (B)     (C)     (D)     (E)       (1)     (2)     (3)     (4)     (5)

5
Answer: Option
Explanation:
In each step, all the elements move to the adjacent corner (of the square boundary) in an ACW direction. Also, the elements that reach the lower-right and upper-left positions get vertically inverted alternately.
