The next figure (indicated by '?') in the sequence is
To determine the correct figure in the sequence, let's observe the given pattern. The figures appear in a 3x3 grid with a circle and a triangle placed in different positions.
- In the first figure, the circle is in the bottom left corner, and the triangle is in the top right corner.
- In the second figure, the circle moves one position right to the middle bottom, while the triangle moves one position left to the middle top.
- In the third figure, the circle moves one position right to the bottom right corner, and the triangle moves one position left to the left of the middle top.
The movements for both the circle and the triangle are consistent: they move in a clockwise manner from their starting positions.
Following this pattern:
- The circle should move from the bottom right corner to the middle right.
- The triangle should move from the left of the middle top to the top left corner.
Thus, the correct figure in the sequence is as shown in the option provided above, which matches the expected positions for both the circle and the triangle.
Important Questions from Patterns in 2 and 3 Dimensions
A line of symmetry is defined as a line that divides a figure into two parts in a way such that each part is a mirror image of the other part about that line.
The given figure consists of 16 unit squares arranged as shown. In addition to the three black squares, what is the minimum number of squares that must be coloured black, such that both PQ and MN form lines of symmetry? (The figure is representative)
