Which figure should replace the question mark (?) if the following series were to be continued?

This question was previously asked in
PYST : General Awareness - SSC Stenographer 2024 (Tier-I) (10-Dec-2024) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

The question presents a series of figures with a pattern that needs to be identified to determine the missing figure. Let's analyze the given sequence:

Observe that the pattern involves a sequential addition of a small square to the existing figure. The small square is consistently added to the lower right corner. Following this sequence:

  • The first figure has one square.
  • The second adds one more.
  • The third adds one more.
  • And so on.

Therefore, to continue the series, we need to add another small square to the lower right corner of the last figure in the series. This results in a figure with a total of four small squares arranged in a square formation.

Comparing this to the given options, only option 2 matches the predicted figure.

Therefore, option 2 with its image is the correct answer. The pattern shows a consistent and incremental addition, making it a simple yet effective pattern recognition problem. The key to solving this is to carefully observe the sequential change in the arrangement of small squares in each image.
