Question

Three of the following four figures are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which figure DOES NOT belong to that group?

The correct answer is

D

In each box the same symbol appears three times, and from the top figure to the middle figure to the bottom figure it should turn by a fixed amount in one direction.

Box A: the arrow points left, then down-left, then down, so the figure turns 45° anticlockwise each time. Box B: the pound sign turns 45° anticlockwise each time. Box C: the star end points up-right, then up, then up-left, again 45° anticlockwise each time.

Box D: the triangle head points left, then down-right, then right. The first turn is 135° and the second is 45°, so the rotation is not uniform.

Check: Three boxes show an equal 45° anticlockwise turn at every step, while box D breaks this rule, so box D is the odd one.

Hence, D.
