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 and asks to identify the next figure in the sequence. Let's analyze the pattern:

Observe that the pattern involves a rotation of the inner square within the larger square. In each step, the inner square rotates 45 degrees counter-clockwise. Following this pattern, the inner square in the last image should rotate another 45 degrees counter-clockwise.

Let's examine the options:

  • Option 1 is incorrect because the inner square does not rotate by 45 degrees.
  • Option 2 is incorrect; the rotation is in the wrong direction and angle.
  • Option 3 is the correct answer because it shows the inner square rotated 45 degrees counter-clockwise from the last image, perfectly following the established pattern.
  • Option 4 is incorrect because the inner square's rotation is not consistent with the series.

Therefore, by observing the rotational pattern of the inner square within the larger square, we can deduce that option 3 correctly continues the established sequence.
