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.

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.

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.

I think the correct answer is option C.
If you have the correct answer you tell me. And why?

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".

Is there any shortcuts for solving such question with in seconds ?

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