Discussion Forum : Series - Section 1 (Q.No. 1)
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.
1.
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:
In each step, element at the upper-right position gets enlarged, inverts vertically and reaches the lower-left corner; the existing element at the lower-left position, is lost and a new small element appears at the upper-right position.

Yes, the answer is C. Thanks Sundar.
From the First Rule, "element at the upper-right position gets enlarged, inverts vertically and reaches the lower-left corner" All options except 3 and 4 are eliminated. Option 4 is eliminated by the other rule given in explanation, "the existing element at the lower-left position, is lost and a new small element appears at the upper-right position".

I think the answer could be D. All of the previous symbols in the top right corner are not symmetrical about the x-axis. "C" is symmetrical about the x-axis, but "S" is not. There is as much logic to choosing D as there is C in this case so I think the problem statement is in error.

In my opinion the pattern/answer key seems to be inconsistent. I viewed the inversion of the S to be along the vertical, while the N the L and the Y were all horizontal inversions. Then the answer key goes back to vertical inversion. When to me the answer C appears to be a horizontal + vertical inversion.

Answer is E because we are only vertically inverting the figure and not laterally.

Answer is C. No doubt in that. Solution is the symbol will come at the bottom-left corner is "IMAGE of the of the top-right corner symbol in the previous one. :) ".

I think they are confuse in "inverts vertically".
Click "Start" then open your Paint application.
Draw the image (S), then ctrl+R "Flip Vertical"
Thats the vertical flip.
Do this for figure B, C, D, E. Hope it helps... ;)

Another solution,
Write the upper-right symbols in white paper.
Put your hand right to the top of paper. (Hold).
Put your left hand to the bottom of paper. (Hold).
Then flip the paper using your left hand to the top of right hand.
