Question

Which of the following boxes should replace the question mark (?) to complete the pattern?

Answer 1

The answer is box E.

Step-by-step explanation:

On careful observation we find that:

• In column one, all the three figures are different types of triangles, i.e. three-sided figures.
• In column two, the two figures given are types of quadrilaterals/ parallelograms, i.e. four-sided figures.
• In column three, all the three figures given are five-sided figures, types of pentagons.

Hence, the missing figure in column two should be a four-sided figure.

In the given options, only figure E is a four-sided figure. Hence, the answer is E.

Answer 2

Answer:

(E) is the correct answer because it has four sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first row, all images are triangles of three sides.

In the third row, all images are pentagons of five sides.

In the second row, all images are quadrilateral of four sides.

(A) is incorrect because it contains five sides.

(B) is incorrect because it contains five sides.

(C) is incorrect because it contains three sides.

(D) is incorrect because it contains five sides.
