Select the option figure that will replace the question mark (?) in the figure given below to complete the pattern.
The question presents a pattern recognition problem. We need to identify the logical progression in the given sequence of figures to determine the missing element. Let's analyze the provided images:
Observe that in each step, the shaded area moves one step clockwise. The shaded square moves from the bottom-left to the bottom-right, then to the top-right, followed by the top-left, and finally, it completes the cycle by returning to the bottom-left position. This cyclical pattern is consistent throughout the sequence.
Therefore, to maintain the pattern, the missing figure must show the shaded square in the top-right position, after completing the clockwise rotation from the top-left position. Let's examine the options:
Option 1: correctly shows the shaded square in the top-right corner, continuing the established clockwise rotation.
Options 2, 3, and 4 show different positions of the shaded square, thus breaking the established pattern.
Therefore, Option 1 is the correct answer.
Important Questions from Completion of Incomplete Pattern
Which of the following option figures will complete the pattern in the figure given below?
Each of the following questions consists of 4 figures marked 1, 2, 3 and 4 called the Problem Figures followed by 4 other figures. Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the four Problem Figures.
Select the option figure that will replace the question mark (?) in the figure given below to complete the pattern.
Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as are the numbers of the following sets.
(NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into its constituent digits. E.g., 13 - Operations on 13 such as adding /deleting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is NOT allowed)
(4, 39), (5, 100)
Select the figure from the given options that will replace the question mark (?) in the figure given below to complete the pattern.
