PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

The question presents a series of figures and asks to identify the figure that logically continues the sequence. Let's analyze the given series:

Observe that in each step, the inner shape rotates 90 degrees clockwise, and the outer shape also rotates 90 degrees clockwise. The inner shape changes from a square to a circle, then a triangle. The number of sides of the inner shape follows a decreasing pattern (4, then implied 0 for circle, then 3). Following this pattern, the next shape should have 2 sides, implying a line segment as the inner shape.

Now, let's examine the options:

Option 1:

Incorrect. The inner shape is a triangle, not a line segment.

Option 2:

Incorrect. Does not follow the rotation pattern.

Option 3:

Correct. This option correctly shows the inner shape as a line segment after the triangle, and maintains the 90-degree clockwise rotation pattern for both inner and outer shapes.

Option 4:

Incorrect. The inner shape is incorrect and the rotation is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.
