Discussion Forum : Series - Section 1 (Q.No. 42)
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.
42.
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:
The upper-left element gets laterally inverted in first, third, fifth. .... steps; the upper-right element gets rotated through 180o is first, fourth, seventh,.... steps; the lower-left element gets laterally inverted in second, fourth, sixth, ... steps; the lower-right element gets rotated through 180o in third, sixth,... steps and the pin at the middle-right position gets laterally inverted in every second step.

I normally apply elimination rule for this kind of questions. If you the see the pattern, the arrow/small lollipop sign is same in A and B figure, then it changed and same for C and D figure and it changed again in E. So the next figure will have the same arrow as E. When we see the options given in the answer, there are three figure 1, 2 and 5 which has the same arrow. 3rd and 4th are the wrong answer. Now, the right answer is one of these 1, 2 and 5th figure. Again observe the pattern of a bottom left corner, A and B are same. It changed and C and D are same. It changed again in E. So the bottom left corner of next figure must be same as E. And only figure 2nd has the same element. I hope it helps.

The explanation/solution is even wrong, i.e. it state that the upper left element get laterally inverted in 1st, 3rd, 5fth. But it is inverted in 1st, 3rd, 4rth and the fifth isn't even visible.
Also there is a much simpler rule that would fit only one solution: Only two changes per step!

I think this is not a very good question the pattern isn't very visible.
