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:
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.

I think what you meant in the explanation is that it "inverts horizontally", not vertically - then this explanation makes sense.

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

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.

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.
