How to decide which dot to be removed and which cross to be made?

I think there is no sequence. Please explain. ! I have marked the answer as per Dots and cross used. Is that the way. ?

Yeah. You are right! there is no sequence. In the (E) option.

4 crosses are replaced by dots and 4 dots are removed randomly.

So in the next figure, 5 crosses should be replaced by dots and.

5 dots should be removed. The answer (C) is correct.

Since there is no way of arrangement of symbol "x", c is correct as.

When 1 dot is crossed 2 dots are lost including the crossed one-1st step.
When 2 dots are crossed 4 dots are lost including the crossed ones-2nd step.
When 3 dots are crossed 6 dots are lost including the crossed ones-3rd step.
When 4 dots are crossed 8 dots are lost including the crossed ones-4th step.
So when 5 dots are crossed 10 dots are lost including the crossed ones-5th and final step-this is the answer.

The correct answer is B.

Shubham said:   5 years ago
If one dot is lost then the answer should contain 3 dots in the final figure.

If C is correct, then one dot is missing. On west-south corner.

Anyone clarify it clearly.

In each steps, no cross is increased by 1 by replacing 2 no dots.

So, in the last step, we have 4 crosses and 4 dots which should be replaced by 5 crosses and 2 dots which is in C.
