Select a figure from amongst the Answer Figures which will continue the same series as established by the five Problem Figures.

Problem Figures:                          Answer Figures:

  (A)     (B)     (C)     (D)     (E)       (1)     (2)     (3)     (4)     (5)

The upper-left element gets laterally inverted in first, third, fifth. .... steps; the upper-right element gets rotated through 180 ^o is first, fourth, seventh,.... steps; the lower-left element gets laterally inverted in second, fourth, sixth, ... steps; the lower-right element gets rotated through 180 ^o in third, sixth,... steps and the pin at the middle-right position gets laterally inverted in every second step.

The elements interchange positions in the orders and alternately.

The symbol gets vertically inverted and laterally inverted alternately. It also moves in ACW direction through distances equal to two half-sides (of square boundary) and three half-sides alternately.

In one step, the elements move in the sequence and in the next step, the elements move in the sequence The two steps are repeated alternately.

Similar figure reappears in every fourth step and each time a figure reappears, it rotates through 90 ^oACW.

All the elements together move one space to the right in each step and once they reach the rightmost position, then in the next step, they move to the leftmost position. Also, in the first step, the first (uppermost) and the third elements interchange positions; in the second step, the second and the fourth elements interchange positions and in the third step, none of the elements interchange positions. These three steps are repeated to continue the series.

In each step, the elements move in the order

All the elements move one space ACW (each space is equal to a quadrant of the circle) and get inverted in each step.

In each step, the symbols move in the sequence and the symbol that reaches the encircled position gets replaced by a new one.

In each step, one dot is lost while another dot is replaced by a cross.
