Question : Directions: Select the option that will replace the question mark (?) in the given figural series.

Option 1:

Option 2:

Option 3:

Option 4:

Correct Answer:

Solution : According to the given figures –
1. The shaded part on the right side of the first box is moving in an anti-clockwise direction. It moves 1 step then 2 steps then 3 steps and so on.
2. The other shaded part on the left side of the first box is moving in a clockwise direction. It moves 1 step then 2 steps then 3 steps and so on.
Thus, in the fourth and the fifth figures, the shaded parts overlap each other.
When they overlap each other it looks like one shaded portion has disappeared as the position of both the shaded portions is the same.

So, the figure in option two is the required next figure. Hence, the second option is correct.
