Select the figure from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series.
To solve this problem, we need to determine the pattern followed by the given figures and predict the next figure in the series.
Let's analyze each figure step by step:
- First Figure: We have a horizontal line with three shapes (square, circle, cross) aligned above, and a triangle isolated to the right.
- Second Figure: The direction changes to vertical, with the circle and cross above and square, triangle, and another triangle below.
- Third Figure: It moves back to horizontal, featuring a leftward direction with a triangle, square, and circle aligned, while cross and triangle are on the right.
- Fourth Figure: Position changes vertically again with shapes adjusted in new positions, following the same pattern.
Pattern Observed:
- The orientation alternates between horizontal and vertical in successive images.
- The isolated shapes either appear at the end of the sequence in a new position or change direction.
Based on the observed pattern, the next figure should continue the alternating direction pattern by using horizontal alignment, with shapes re-oriented accordingly.
The correct option, which follows this pattern and fits logically as per the explanation, is as shown below:
Important Questions from Figural Series

Select the figure that will replace the question mark (?) in the following figure series.
Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the following series were to be continued?
Identify the figure given in the options which when put in place of the question mark (?) will logically complete the series.
- In a series of patterns, each shape has one more dot than the previous. The first has 1 dot, the second 2 dots and the third 3 dots.
