SSC Stenographer 2025 Question Paper (06-Aug-2025) Shift 2
The correct answer is

To solve this problem, we need to identify the pattern in the sequence of figures and predict the next figure.

Step 1: Identify the sequence pattern

The given sequence consists of geometric shapes with a dot positioned at different locations relative to the shape:

  1. The first figure is a hexagon with the dot at the top right corner.
  2. The second figure is a pentagon with the dot at the top right corner.
  3. The third figure is a rectangle with the dot at the bottom left corner.

Step 2: Observe changes in shapes and dot positions

  • The shapes change from a hexagon to a pentagon to a rectangle, suggesting a decrease in the number of sides.
  • The dot position seems to follow a pattern relative to the corners of the shape. The dot was at the top-right for the first two figures but moved to the bottom-left in the third figure.

Step 3: Predict the next figure

The likely sequence based on the above observations:

  • The next shape should be a triangle, following the pattern of decreasing sides (6 sides → 5 sides → 4 sides → 3 sides).
  • Considering the movement of the dot, it should complete its transition around the corners. Thus, it should be at a position not previously used.

Conclusion

The correct option shows a triangle with a dot positioned likely at a new corner that fits the sequence.
