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.

Problem Figures: Answer Figures:

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

The given solution to the question is just confusing. Here's a clear one I think.
The arcs get inverted (faces opposite) anti-clockwise in a sequence of one arc, then the next two, then the next three and repeat!
So it goes like;
1(inverted one arc - the first one at the top),
1,2( Invert the next two), * remember you're moving in an anticlockwise direction.
1,2,3 ( invert the next three arcs) and repeat.

Take (A).
note that 1 arch moved anticlockwise in (B).
note that 2,3(anticlockwise) are moved anticlockwise in (C).
note that 4,5,1(anticlockwise) are moved anticlockwise in(D).
note that 2 arch is moved anticlockwise in (E).
So its time to move 3,4 arch anticlockwise which is in (1) image.
that's all.

Note that 1 arch (upper arch) moved anticlockwise (downwards) in (B).
Note that 2, 3 (leftmost arches) are moved anticlockwise in (C).
Note that 4, 5, 1 (right most arches and upper arch) are moved anticlockwise in (D).
Note that 2 arch (leftmost arch) is moved anticlockwise in (E).
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, next will be 3, 4.
So it's time to move 3, 4 arch anticlockwise which is in (1) image.
That's all.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, next will be 3, 4.
So it's time to move 3, 4 arch anticlockwise which is in (1) image.
That's all.

In each figure, the movement of arcs increases up to 3.
