Discussion Forum : Series - Section 1 (Q.No. 5)
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.
5.
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:
One, two, three, one, two, three.....arcs get inverted sequentially. This inversion takes place in an ACW direction.

Guys take it this way!
Let A) b initial figure.
Now observe fig B) , here topmost arc is tilted, and only one arc tilted in move 1 from initial fig. A).
Now move 2. Make 2 arcs tilted from fig B) i.e. Left most arc below top most and the arc next to it in ACD.
Now move 3. Tilt the next 3 arcs.
Move 4 make only 1 tilt.
Then move 5 make 2 arcs tilted we get answer fig 1.

Now move 3. Tilt the next 3 arcs.
Move 4 make only 1 tilt.
Then move 5 make 2 arcs tilted we get answer fig 1.

The meaning of anticlockwise is the direction in which we looking into the figure.
Name 1,2,3,4,5 to each symbol in the anticlockwise direction and then reverse the direction of each symbol,
In B the 1 symbol is reversed.
In C following anticlockwise direction reverse the direction of 2,3.
In D now 4,5,1.(Remember since we need to reverse a total of three).
In E now 2( reversing only one).
In next step 3,4(reversing two symbols).
I hope it will be clear now.

Answer is D.
Because in each step, the CW-end element moves to the ACW-end position.

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.

I can't understand the series reasoning.
So, please anyone clearly explains how to understand the series reasoning aptitude.

In D the bottom right flips, but the top one also flips in this image. Is this a mistake?
